Constructs the pseudo-random number engine.

1) The default constructor.
2) Constructs the engine with a seed value value. The engine's initial state is determined as follows:
  • If c % m == 0 and value % m == 0 are both true, the state is 0.
  • Otherwise, the state is value % m.
3) Constructs the engine with a seed sequence seq. Given std::size_t(std::log2(m) / 32) + 1 as k, the engine's initial state is determined as follows:
  1. Creates an invented array object a of length k + 3.
  2. Calls seq.generate(a + 0, a + k + 3).
  3. Let S be (∑k-1
    j=0
    a
    j+3
    ·232j
    ) mod m
    .
  4. If both c % m == 0 and S == 0 are true, sets the engine's state to 1. Otherwise, sets the engine’s state to S.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if SeedSeq meets the requirements of SeedSequence.
4) The copy constructor. Upon construction, *this == other is true.

[edit] Parameters

value - seed value to use in the initialization of the internal state

[edit] Complexity

1,2) Constant.
3) Same as the complexity of the seq.generate call.
4) Constant.
