Remarks

This template class decribes a <random>. It holds a large integral value with W * (N - 1) + R bits. It extracts W bits at a time from this large value, and when it has used all the bits it twists the large value by shifting and mixing the bits so that it has a new set of bits to extract from. The engine's state is the last N W-bit values used if operator() has been called at least N times, otherwise the M W-bit values that have been used and the last N - M values of the seed.

The template argument UIntType must be large enough to hold values up to 2W - 1. The values of the other template arguments must satisfy the following requirements:

1 < M <= N

0 <= R, U, S, T, L <= W

0 <= A, B, C <= 2W - 1

W * (N - 1) + R must be a Mersenne prime

The generator twists the large value that it holds by executing the following code:

    for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
        {    // twist
        temp = (x[i] & LMASK) << (W - 1) | (x[i + 1] & HMASK) >> 1;
        if (temp & 1)
            y[i] = (temp >> 1) ^ A ^ x[(i + R) % N];
        else
            y[i] = (temp >> 1) ^ x[(i + R) % N];
        }
        for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
            x[i] = y[i];

where LMASK is an unsigned W-bit value with its low R bits set to 1 and the rest of its bits set to 0, and HMASK is the complement of LMASK.

The generator holds a current index idx initialized to 0. It extracts bits by executing the following code:

    temp = x[idx++];
    temp = temp ^ ((temp >> U) & D);
    temp = temp ^ ((temp << S) & B);
    temp = temp ^ ((temp << T) & C);
    temp = temp ^ (temp >> L);

When idx reaches N the generator twists the stored value and sets idx back to 0.
