Each adaptor has a member function calledbase() which has no definition.
[Resolution proposed by ballot comment:]
Give it the obvious definition.
[2010-11-03 Daniel comments and provides a proposed resolution:]
The following proposal addsnoexcept specifiers to the declarations ofthebase() functions as replacement for a "Throws: Nothing" element.
[2010 Batavia: The working group reviewed this issue, and recommended to add the following to the Proposed Resolution.]
a.base() shall be valid and shall return a const reference toa's base engine.After further review, the working group concurred with the Proposed Resolution.
[Batavia: waiting for WEB to review wording]
Proposed resolution:
Arandom number engine adaptor (commonly shortened toadaptor)
aof typeAis arandom number engine that takes values produced by some other random number engine, and applies an algorithm tothose values in order to deliver a sequence of values with different randomness properties. An enginebof typeBadapted in this way is termed abase engine in this context. The expressiona.base()shall be valid and shall return a const reference toa's base engine.
