count_heads.jl in parallel-computing section failing

[rsmaior]

See it here: http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/parallel-computing/#parallel-map-and-loops

function count_heads(n)
    c::Int = 0
    for i=1:n
        c += rand(Bool)
    end
    c
end

I think rand(Bool) is wrong. So the code above is failing for me. The code below is working:

function count_heads(n)
    c::Int = 0
    for i=1:n
        c += rand(Int64)
    end
    c
end

Another code failing for me is

nheads = @parallel (+) for i=1:200000000
  Int(rand(Bool))
end

Obs.: Forgot to say, but the error I get with the two codes is:

exception on 4: ERROR: no random number generator for type Bool; try a more specific type

This repository is for the code that generates the documentation - if the docs are wrong, then please file an issue on the main Julia repository (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues).

Are you using Julia 0.3? That link is to the docs for (unreleased) Julia 0.4

[rsmaior]

Yes, I'm with julia-0.3.8 (ubuntu linux) Should I open a new issue in https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues or 'move' to the correct place?

[rsmaior]

Using the correct documentation (version 0.3) http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/parallel-computing/#parallel-map-and-loops I have no issue... So this is not an issue at all.
