Re: [Help-gsl] Number of random numbers drawn from a RNG

[Paul C. Leopardi]

Hi Markus,
This may be possible with a wrapper. You call the wrapper which counts the 
number of times the genrator has been called, and resets to zero when the 
generator is reseeded, etc.

Things brings up a topic I have been intending to write to the list about for 
some time.

I've written a number of wrappers for GSL RNG and have also written some 
wrappers for other generators to give them (almost) the GSL RNG API. The main 
difference between my library routines and the GSL RNG API is that my 
routines need a more complicated internal state than just a plain array.

I will elaborate in a separate thread rather than hijacking this one.
Best, Paul
