          Issue ID: 12589
           Summary: std.random.randomCover fails for empty ranges
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Phobos
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: jens.k.mueller@gmx.de

The following code fails (the second assert does not hold).

unittest
{
    import std.random;
    int[] r = [];
    auto gen = Random(0);
    auto c = randomCover(r, gen);
    assert(c.length == 0);
    assert(c.empty);
}

Since empty is false calling front is valid which leads to disaster.

I used DMD64 D Compiler v2.065 on Linux.
