// This header defines a class for representing a uniform integer distribution
// over the closed (inclusive) interval [a,b]. You use this distribution in
// combination with an Abseil random bit generator to produce random values
// according to the rules of the distribution.
//
// `absl::uniform_int_distribution` is a drop-in replacement for the C++11
// `std::uniform_int_distribution` [rand.dist.uni.int] but is considerably
// faster than the libstdc++ implementation.

  // Generates a uniform variate on [0, Lim) using fixed-point multiplication.
  // The above fast-path guarantees that Lim is representable in unsigned_type.
  //
  // Algorithm adapted from
  // http://lemire.me/blog/2016/06/30/fast-random-shuffling/, with added
  // explanation.
  //
  // The algorithm creates a uniform variate `bits` in the interval [0, 2^N),
  // and treats it as the fractional part of a fixed-point real value in [0, 1),
  // multiplied by 2^N.  For example, 0.25 would be represented as 2^(N - 2),
  // because 2^N * 0.25 == 2^(N - 2).
  //
  // Next, `bits` and `Lim` are multiplied with a wide-multiply to bring the
  // value into the range [0, Lim).  The integral part (the high word of the
  // multiplication result) is then very nearly the desired result.  However,
  // this is not quite accurate; viewing the multiplication result as one
  // double-width integer, the resulting values for the sample are mapped as
  // follows:
  //
  // If the result lies in this interval:       Return this value:
  //        [0, 2^N)                                    0
  //        [2^N, 2 * 2^N)                              1
  //        ...                                         ...
  //        [K * 2^N, (K + 1) * 2^N)                    K
  //        ...                                         ...
  //        [(Lim - 1) * 2^N, Lim * 2^N)                Lim - 1
  //
  // While all of these intervals have the same size, the result of `bits * Lim`
  // must be a multiple of `Lim`, and not all of these intervals contain the
  // same number of multiples of `Lim`.  In particular, some contain
  // `F = floor(2^N / Lim)` and some contain `F + 1 = ceil(2^N / Lim)`.  This
  // difference produces a small nonuniformity, which is corrected by applying
  // rejection sampling to one of the values in the "larger intervals" (i.e.,
  // the intervals containing `F + 1` multiples of `Lim`.
  //
  // An interval contains `F + 1` multiples of `Lim` if and only if its smallest
  // value modulo 2^N is less than `2^N % Lim`.  The unique value satisfying
  // this property is used as the one for rejection.  That is, a value of
  // `bits * Lim` is rejected if `(bit * Lim) % 2^N < (2^N % Lim)`.

  using helper = random_internal::wide_multiply<unsigned_type>;
  auto product = helper::multiply(bits, Lim);

  // Two optimizations here:
  // * Rejection occurs with some probability less than 1/2, and for reasonable
  //   ranges considerably less (in particular, less than 1/(F+1)), so
  //   ABSL_PREDICT_FALSE is apt.
  // * `Lim` is an overestimate of `threshold`, and doesn't require a divide.
  if (ABSL_PREDICT_FALSE(helper::lo(product) < Lim)) {
    // This quantity is exactly equal to `2^N % Lim`, but does not require high
    // precision calculations: `2^N % Lim` is congruent to `(2^N - Lim) % Lim`.
    // Ideally this could be expressed simply as `-X` rather than `2^N - X`, but
    // for types smaller than int, this calculation is incorrect due to integer
    // promotion rules.
