template < class SeedSeq >
explicit independent_bits_engine ( SeedSeq & seq ) ;

(4) (since C++11)
explicit independent_bits_engine ( Engine && e ) ;
(5) (since C++11)

Constructs new pseudo-random engine adaptor.

1) Default constructor. The underlying engine is also default-constructed.
2) Constructs the underlying engine with s .
3) Constructs the underlying engine with seed sequence seq .
This overload participates in overload resolution only if Sseq satisfies the requirements of SeedSequence .
4) Constructs the underlying engine with a copy of e .
5) Move-constructs the underlying engine with e . e holds unspecified, but valid state afterwards.

Parameters

s - integer value to construct the underlying engine with
seq - seed sequence to construct the underlying engine with
e - pseudo-random number engine to initialize with

Exceptions

3) If SeedSeq is not std::seed_seq , throws the exceptions thrown by the seq.generate call.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
 
int main()
{
    auto print = [](auto rem, auto engine, int count)
    {
        std::cout << rem << ": ";
        for (int i {}; i != count; ++i)
            std::cout << static_cast<unsigned>(engine()) << ' ';
        std::cout << '\n';
    };
 
    std::independent_bits_engine<std::mt19937, /*bits*/ 1, unsigned short>
        e1; // default-constructed
    print("e1", e1, 8);
 
    std::independent_bits_engine<std::mt19937, /*bits*/ 1, unsigned int>
        e2(1); // constructed with 1
    print("e2", e2, 8);
 
    std::random_device rd;
    std::independent_bits_engine<std::mt19937, /*bits*/ 3, unsigned long>
        e3(rd()); // seeded with rd()
    print("e3", e3, 8);
 
    std::seed_seq s {3, 1, 4, 1, 5};
    std::independent_bits_engine<std::mt19937, /*bits*/ 3, unsigned long long>
        e4(s); // seeded with seed-sequence s
    print("e4", e4, 8);
}

Possible output:

e1: 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1
e2: 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1
e3: 3 1 5 4 3 2 3 4
e4: 0 2 4 4 4 3 3 6
