How to use MT (or similar) RNG algorithm in CPP implementation?

I want to implement MT alg in CPP (I just can't use C++11 sadly) I've found a lot of algorithms like SFMT, dSFMT, some versions of Tiny MT etc; but as I saw the documentation of those algs, I think they works for range like <0,2) (from doxygen documentation)

Need any ideas how to replace basic RNG algorithm

SRAND(TIME(NULL))

With something better

Solution

  • Boost.Random provides quite a few thread-safe random generators, and they work with C++98.
