 *
 * \note The gamma distribution is broken in some standard library headers
 * (including those shipped with gcc-4.9), and it is not guaranteed to
 * generate the same result on stdlibc++ and libc++. Use this one instead so
 * our unit tests produce the same values on all platforms.

/*! \brief Gamma distribution
 *
 *  The C++ standard library does provide a gamma distribution, but when
 *  using libstdc++-4.4.7 with at least gcc-4.6 or icc-14.0 the headers
 *  produce errors. Even for newer compilers, libstdc++ and libc++ appear to
 *  use different algorithms to generate it, which means their values differ
 *  in contrast to the uniform and normal distributions where they are
 *  identical. To avoid both the gcc-4.6 bug and make it easier to use GROMACS
 *   unit tests that depend on random numbers we have our own implementation.
 *
 *  Be warned that the gamma distribution works like the standard
 *  normal distribution and keeps drawing values from the random engine
 *  in a loop, so you want to make sure you use a random stream with a
 *  very large margin to make sure you do not run out of random numbers
 *  in an unlucky case (which will lead to an exception with the GROMACS
 *  default random engine).
 *
 *  The gamma distribution is defined as
 *
 * \f[
 *     p(x|\alpha,\beta) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)\beta^{alpha}} x^{\alpha - 1} e^{-\frac{x}{\beta}}, x\geq 0
 * \f]
 *
 * \tparam RealType Floating-point type, real by default in GROMACS.
