26 * but not specific to the PCG generation scheme, including:
27 * - 128-bit int support for platforms where it isn't available natively
28 * - bit twiddling operations
29 * - I/O of 128-bit and 8-bit integers
30 * - Handling the evilness of SeedSeq
31 * - Support for efficiently producing random numbers less than a given
32 * bound

66 * Some members of the PCG library use 128-bit math. When compiling on 64-bit
67 * platforms, both GCC and Clang provide 128-bit integer types that are ideal
68 * for the job.
70 * On 32-bit platforms (or with other compilers), we fall back to a C++
71 * class that provides 128-bit unsigned integers instead. It may seem
72 * like we're reinventing the wheel here, because libraries already exist
73 * that support large integers, but most existing libraries provide a very
74 * generic multiprecision code, but here we're operating at a fixed size.
75 * Also, most other libraries are fairly heavyweight. So we use a direct
76 * implementation. Sadly, it's much slower than hand-coded assembly or
77 * direct CPU support.

371 * tries to avoid memory allocation. If we're filling in 32-bit constants
372 * we just do it directly. If we need a separate buffer and it's small,
373 * we allocate it on the stack. Otherwise, we fall back to heap allocation.
374 * Ugh.

377 * SeedSeq object.
