There's nothing wrong with using uniform_01, but the declaration is:

template<typename RealType = double> class uniform_01;

not

template class uniform_01;

which is what you used.

That's what the docs say, but the "new" form is only dispatched to for native floating point types... there was also a discrepancy between what intellisense said and what the docs said. But we're digressing..

Perhaps it's time to retire the dispatching entirely. It's been quite a few years since I updated it, and the original form was practically impossible to use correctly in the first place. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
