    copied!<p>Boost lambda will evaluate <code>rand</code> before the functor is made. You need to <code>bind</code> it, so it's evaluated at lambda evaluation time:</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;boost/lambda/lambda.hpp&gt; #include &lt;boost/lambda/bind.hpp&gt; // for bind #include &lt;algorithm&gt; #include &lt;cstdlib&gt; #include &lt;ctime&gt; #include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;vector&gt; int main() { namespace bl = boost::lambda; typedef std::vector&lt;int&gt; int_vec; static const size_t MaxListSize = 10; static const int MaxSize = 20; int_vec theList; theList.resize(MaxListSize); std::srand(static_cast&lt;unsigned&gt;(std::time(0))); std::for_each(theList.begin(), theList.end(), bl::_1 = bl::bind(std::rand) % MaxSize); std::for_each(theList.begin(), theList.end(), std::cout &lt;&lt; bl::_1 &lt;&lt; ' ' ); } </code></pre> <p>This works as expected.</p> <p>However, the <em>correct</em> solution is to use <code>generate_n</code>. Why make a bunch of 0's just to overwrite them?</p> <pre><code>#include &lt;boost/lambda/lambda.hpp&gt; #include &lt;boost/lambda/bind.hpp&gt; #include &lt;algorithm&gt; #include &lt;cstdlib&gt; #include &lt;ctime&gt; #include &lt;iostream&gt; #include &lt;vector&gt; int main() { namespace bl = boost::lambda; typedef std::vector&lt;int&gt; int_vec; static const size_t MaxListSize = 10; static const int MaxSize = 20; int_vec theList; theList.reserve(MaxListSize); // note, reserve std::srand(static_cast&lt;unsigned&gt;(std::time(0))); std::generate_n(std::back_inserter(theList), MaxListSize, bl::bind(std::rand) % MaxSize); std::for_each(theList.begin(), theList.end(), std::cout &lt;&lt; bl::_1 &lt;&lt; ' ' ); } </code></pre>
