Detailed Description

A minimal C++ implementation of the PCG32 random number generator.

Author

M.E. O'Neill (original implementation)

This file provides a standalone implementation of pcg32, a 32-bit output random number generator from the PCG family. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for standard C++ random number engines like std::mt19937.

The PCG family of generators is known for its excellent statistical properties, small code size, and high performance.

This implementation is based on the C++ code provided on the official PCG website: http://www.pcg-random.org/

The original PCG library is distributed under the MIT or Apache 2.0 licenses. This minimal version is provided for convenience.
