// 310-Gen-VariablesInGenerator.cpp
// Shows how to use variables when creating generators.

// Note that using variables inside generators is dangerous and should
// be done only if you know what you are doing, because the generators
// _WILL_ outlive the variables -- thus they should be either captured
// by value directly, or copied by the generators during construction.

          "[generator][example][advanced]") {
    // Workaround for old libstdc++

    // Set up 3 ranges to generate numbers from
    auto r = GENERATE(table<double, double>({

    // auto number = GENERATE(take(50, random(std::get<0>(r), std::get<1>(r))));

   // thus this will work.
