Proper boolean random generator (Bernoulli distribution)

Question

I\'d be curious to know if there is a default random boolean generator in the random C++11 library. I\'ve been using a int generator returning 0 or

See std::bernoulli_distribution in the <random> header, aptly named after the Bernoulli distribution.

std::random_device device;
std::mt19937 gen(device());
std::bernoulli_distribution coin_flip(0.5);
bool outcome = coin_flip(gen);
