Enum member std.random.isUniformRNG

Test if Rng is a random-number generator. The overload taking a ElementType also makes sure that the Rng generates values of that type.

enum isUniformRNG(Rng, ElementType) = .isUniformRNG!Rng && is(std.range.primitives.ElementType!Rng == ElementType);
enum isUniformRNG(Rng) = isInputRange!Rng && is(typeof(() { static assert(Rng.isUniformRandom); } ));

A random-number generator has at least the following features:

  • it's an InputRange
  • it has a 'bool isUniformRandom' field readable in CTFE

Example

struct NoRng
{
    @property uint front() {return 0;}
    @property bool empty() {return false;}
    void popFront() {}
}
static assert(!isUniformRNG!(NoRng));

struct validRng
{
    @property uint front() {return 0;}
    @property bool empty() {return false;}
    void popFront() {}

    enum isUniformRandom = true;
}
static assert(isUniformRNG!(validRng, uint));
static assert(isUniformRNG!(validRng));
