Is this implementation thread safe? #32

Can anyone tell me if the current c++ implementation of the PCG random number generator thread safe?

@dejunlin Without answering your specific question, I'd say that random number generators, in general, should not be expected to be thread-safe. So you want to create one generator per thread.
