Throughout this subclause [rand], the effect of instantiating a template:
  • (1.1)
    that has a template type parameter named Sseq is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and meets the requirements of seed sequence.
  • (1.2)
    that has a template type parameter named URBG is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and meets the requirements of uniform random bit generator.
  • (1.3)
    that has a template type parameter named Engine is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and meets the requirements of random number engine.
  • (1.4)
    that has a template type parameter named RealType is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and is one of float, double, or long double.
  • (1.5)
    that has a template type parameter named IntType is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and is one of short, int, long, long long, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long.
  • (1.6)
    that has a template type parameter named UIntType is undefined unless the corresponding template argument is cv-unqualified and is one of unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long.
