[R] using R's random numbers in another program

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear All,

I want to use R's random number in a C++ program (I can link libRmath either
as shared or static library).  I have two questions:

1. If I understand correctly, the underlaying random number generator will be
Marsaglia-multicarry, UNLESS I provide my own.  In other words (unless I
provide it) I cannot use some of the other RNG's available from within R, such
as Mersenne-Twister? 

2. I am using another library, which uses it own RNG; I guess there is no
problem in using both R's RNG's (for some of the functions in the code)  and
this other library's RNG?

Thanks,

Ramón
