New classes for random number generation.

  • we use boost::random as a basis. It implements a lot of pseudo-random engines and various distributions. However, everything is templated and there are no base classes to store prototypes of the instances in a map. We need these such that we are able to offer the user at run-time every choice possible.
  • Hence, we need to encapsulate all engines, distributions and (engine, distribution) tuples: RandomNumber..._Encapsulation classes.
  • each with an abstract base class as the interface: RandomNumber... classes.
  • RandomNumberGeneratorFactory is then a singleton that contains all the Maps and tables:
    • from string (user input is string) to enum (storing enum is more efficient that a lengthy string)
    • from enum to instance (of the abstract class).
  • RandomNumberGeneratorFactory is a singleton to allow for global control of what kind of numbers are generated, hence there are also two new Actions:
  • The user in the end only uses two classes: RandomNumberGeneratorFactory and RandomNumberGenerator. The first only for obtaining a specific variant of the latter and the latter to generate the numbers (operator() is passed on to boost::variate_generator::operator()).
  • There is a unit test on the RandomNumberGeneratorFactory that checks some of the table entries and whether one of the RandomNumberGenerator is working (uniform_smallint so far).

Details:

  • As there are ~25 engines and ~15 distributions this makes an enormous amount of possible combinations. To automatically construct these, we use some stuff from boost::preprocessor in order to generate enums, tables and maps automatically just from a sequence of the typenames.
  • we have be-friended the unit test a lot to allow for easier testing, e.g. we need access to internal ..._type to test whether their type is correct.
  • cleanUp() purges the instance of RandomNumberGeneratorFactory.
  • in RandomNumber..._Encapsulation::name() functions are only used for the unit tests.
  • this all resides in its own subfolder RandomNumbers. So far, it is completely independent of everything else.
  • Property mode set to 100644
