Boost Random with templates
So I'm trying to use the Boost.Random mt19937 generator with templates. My c++ is a bit rusty, but from all I understand (and the doc, as always for Boost, is no less than vague) it should take a template argument that specifies it's return type (float / double).
I have no idea right now as to where the problem lies... It all worked with <double>
or <float>
and stopped working with the template.
Here's the code:
template <class T>
class SpikingMatrixHelper {
public:
SpikingMatrixHelper(const int seed);
T generateNumber(const T, const T) const;
private:
boost::mt19937 gen;
};
template <class T>
SpikingMatrixHelper<T>::SpikingMatrixHelper(const int seed) : gen(seed) {}
template <class T>
T SpikingMatrixHelper<T>::generateNumber(const T min, const T max) const {
boost::uniform_real<T> dist(min, max);
boost::variate_generator<boost::mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<T> > g(gen, dist);
return g();
}
This throws up at the variate_generator
construction with
/path/ [line] error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::variate_generator<boost::random::mersenne_twister<unsigned int, 32, 624, 397, 31, 2567483615u, 11, 7, 2636928640u, 15, 4022730752u, 18, 3346425566u>&, boost::uniform_real<double> >::variate_generator(const mt19937&, boost::uniform_real<double>&)’

As I said, it's been some time since I've done c++, and the Boost doc leaves much to ask for, so any hints apprecia开发者_运维问答ted...
generateNumber
cannot be const
- it permutes the Mersenne Twister. Make that mutable
, or make the function non-const
.
