28.5.5.3 Class template independent_bits_engine [rand.adapt.ibits]

An independent_bits_engine random number engine adaptor combines random numbers that are produced by some base engine e, so as to produce random numbers with a specified number of bits w.

The state x

_{i}

of an independent_bits_engine engine adaptor object x consists of the state e

_{i}

of its base engine e; the size of the state is the size of e's state.

The transition and generation algorithms are described in terms of the following integral constants:

(2.1)
Let $R = e.max() - e.min() + 1$ and $m = ⌊ log_{2} R ⌋$ .
(2.2)
With n as determined below, let $w_{0} = ⌊ w / n ⌋$ , $n_{0} = n - w mod n$ , $y_{0} = 2^{w_{0}} ⌊ R / 2^{w_{0}} ⌋$ , and $y_{1} = 2^{w_{0} + 1} ⌊ R / 2^{w_{0} + 1} ⌋$ .
(2.3)
Let $n = ⌈ w / m ⌉$ if and only if the relation $R - y_{0} \leq ⌊ y_{0} / n ⌋$ holds as a result.

Otherwise let $n = 1 + ⌈ w / m ⌉$ .

[Note 1:

The relation

w = n_{0} w_{0} + (n - n_{0}) (w_{0} + 1)

always holds.

— end note]

The transition algorithm is carried out by invoking e() as often as needed to obtain

n_{0}

values less than

y_{0} + e.min()

and

n - n_{0}

values less than

y_{1} + e.min()

The generation algorithm uses the values produced while advancing the state as described above to yield a quantity S obtained as if by the following algorithm: S = 0; for (k = 0;

k \neq n_{0}

; k += 1) { do u = e() - e.min(); while (

u \geq y_{0}

); S =

2^{w_{0}} \cdot S + u mod 2^{w_{0}}

; } for (k =

n_{0}

; k ≠ n; k += 1) { do u = e() - e.min(); while (

u \geq y_{1}

); S =

2^{w_{0} + 1} \cdot S + u mod 2^{w_{0} + 1}

; }

The following relations shall hold: 0 < w and w <= numeric_limits<result_type>::digits.
