Message:

New classes for random number generation.

• we use boost::random as a basis. It implements a lot of pseudo-random engines and various distributions. However, everything is templated and there are no base classes to store prototypes of the instances in a map. We need these such that we are able to offer the user at run-time every choice possible.
• Hence, we need to encapsulate all engines, distributions and (engine, distribution) tuples: RandomNumber..._Encapsulation classes.
• each with an abstract base class as the interface: RandomNumber... classes.
• RandomNumberGeneratorFactory is then a singleton that contains all the Maps and tables:
  • from string (user input is string) to enum (storing enum is more efficient that a lengthy string)
  • from enum to instance (of the abstract class).
• RandomNumberGeneratorFactory is a singleton to allow for global control of what kind of numbers are generated, hence there are also two new Actions:
  • SetRandomNumbersDistributionAction
  • SetRandomNumbersEngineAction to specify which (engine,distribution) tuple to use. There are two new regression tests for these Actions.
• The user in the end only uses two classes: RandomNumberGeneratorFactory and RandomNumberGenerator. The first only for obtaining a specific variant of the latter and the latter to generate the numbers (operator() is passed on to boost::variate_generator::operator()).
• There is a unit test on the RandomNumberGeneratorFactory that checks some of the table entries and whether one of the RandomNumberGenerator is working (uniform_smallint so far).

Details:

• As there are ~25 engines and ~15 distributions this makes an enormous amount of possible combinations. To automatically construct these, we use some stuff from boost::preprocessor in order to generate enums, tables and maps automatically just from a sequence of the typenames.
• we have be-friended the unit test a lot to allow for easier testing, e.g. we need access to internal ..._type to test whether their type is correct.
• cleanUp() purges the instance of RandomNumberGeneratorFactory.
• in RandomNumber..._Encapsulation::name() functions are only used for the unit tests.
• this all resides in its own subfolder RandomNumbers. So far, it is completely independent of everything else.
