Thanks for your detailed response. You mentioned "SplitMix" PRNGs, what is the second one that is implemented lock free?

By the way congrats on getting your release out. This looks like good stuff.

Make that "one" then :-)

I don't actually know know of others, but I know there are a range of other PRNGs which run on single-word states, so they might be viable.

Thankyou! I see many flaws in the library though - there's so much that I can see to improve or to add. Still, with such things, there's a lot of value in making a release to get new functionality out so it can actually be used, even if there's much else to be improved, or which is not as it could or should be.
