29.5.5 Random number engine adaptor class templates [rand.adapt]

29.5.5.4 Class template shuffle_order_engine [rand.adapt.shuf]

A shuffle_order_engine random number engine adaptor produces the same random numbers that are produced by some base engine e, but delivers them in a different sequence.

The state x

_{i}

of a shuffle_order_engine engine adaptor object x consists of the state e

_{i}

of its base engine e, an additional value Y of the type delivered by e, and an additional sequence V of k values also of the type delivered by e.

The size of the state is the size of e's state plus

k + 1

The transition algorithm permutes the values produced by e.

The state transition is performed as follows:

(2.1)
Calculate an integer $j = ⌊ \frac{k \cdot (Y - e_{min})}{e_{max} - e_{min} + 1} ⌋$ .
(2.2)
Set Y to $V_{j}$ and then set $V_{j}$ to e().

The generation algorithm yields the last value of Y produced while advancing e's state as described above.

The following relation shall hold: 0 < k.

The textual representation consists of the textual representation of e, followed by the k values of V, followed by the value of Y.

In addition to its behavior pursuant to subclause [rand.req.adapt], each constructor that is not a copy constructor initializes V[0], …, V[k-1] and Y, in that order, with values returned by successive invocations of e().
