Constructs the pseudo-random number engine.

1) The default constructor.
  • If the default-constructed engine is of type std::philox4x32, the 10000th consecutive invocation of it produces the value 1955073260.
  • If the default-constructed engine is of type std::philox4x64, the 10000th consecutive invocation of it produces the value 3409172418970261260.
2) Constructs the engine with a seed value value. The engine's initial state is determined as follows:[1]
  • All elements of the sequence X are set to zero.
  • The first element of the sequence K is set to value mod 2w
    , the remaining elements are set to zero.
  • The value of j is set to n - 1.
3) Constructs the engine with a seed sequence seq. The engine's initial state is determined as follows:[1]
  • All elements of the sequence X are set to zero.
  • Given (w - 1) / 32 + 1 as p, the elements of the sequence K are set by the following steps:
  1. Creates an invented array object a of length n / 2 * p.
  2. Calls seq.generate(a + 0, a + n / 2 * p).
  3. For each integer k in [0n / 2), sets K
    k
    to (∑p-1
    i=0
    a
    k·p+i
    ·232i
    ) mod 2w
    .
  • The value of j is set to n - 1.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if SeedSeq meets the requirements of SeedSequence.
4) The copy constructor. Upon construction, *this == other is true.


  1. 1.0 1.1 The buffer Y is intentionally not being set. As j is being set to n - 1, the next state transition always generates new random values and stores them in Y.

Parameters

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

Complexity

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

Exceptions

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