 *
 * \brief GIS Library - Pseudo-random number generation
 *
 * The generator is the standard drand48 linear congruential generator
 * X' = (A * X + B) mod 2^48 with A = 0x5DEECE66D and B = 0xB.
 *
 * When C11 atomic operations are available, the generator state is
 * advanced with an atomic compare-and-swap and the generating functions
 * are thread-safe: the sequence of generated values for a given seed is
 * the same as in a single-threaded run. Which thread receives which
 * value depends on scheduling, so results are fully reproducible only
 * with single-threaded execution. Without C11 atomics (notably MSVC,
 * which defines __STDC_NO_ATOMICS__), the generator falls back to plain
 * state updates, so multi-threaded usage is safe only when compiled
 * with C11 atomics.
 *
 * The seeding functions are not thread-safe; see G_srand48().
 *
 * The G_random_*() functions instead advance generators owned by the
 * program, one struct G_random_state per unit of work. The program keeps
 * a state to one thread at a time; the functions then need neither
 * atomics nor locks, behave identically on every build, and give each
 * unit a sequence fixed by the seed and the unit's number, not by the
 * thread that draws it. The library places the units within the
 * span, the first 2^46 draws after the seed, a quarter of the generator's
 * cycle: a layout gives every unit of every batch a stream of stride draws
 * in it, and a state is put at the start of its unit's stream. See \ref
 * gislib_random_streams for the model.

 * draws after the seed. The odd number of parts keeps the unit halfway or
 * a quarter of the way along from starting 2^45 or 2^44 draws after unit
 * 0, distances at which this generator's values relate (see
 * \ref gislib_random_streams): the unit nearest to 2^45 starts at least
 * 0.48 of a stride away from it and the unit nearest to 2^44 at least
 * 0.24, so a unit meets such a relation only after drawing about a
 * quarter of its stride. The odd stride puts units 2^i apart in number an
 * odd multiple of 2^i draws apart, as in a bounded layout. A single unit
 * keeps the whole span of 2^46 draws, as a state from
 * G_random_state_from_seed() does. The layout holds a single batch.
 *
 * The number of units is limited to 2^20: the rounded stride loses up to
 * two draws per unit, which accumulate along the span, so beyond that
 * count the units nearest to 2^45 and 2^44 would drift toward them. A
 * bounded layout serves any number of units.
 *
 * The stride is the length of a part. G_random_layout_length() returns
 * it, and G_random_layout_batches() returns 1.
 *
 * A seed outside -2^31 to 2^32 - 1, or a number of units which is not
 * positive or above 2^20, is a fatal error.
