... you won't run into problems with your particular use-case, I have seen it replace linear congruency generators bit by bit over the years.

but, if I were just going to use other peoples' code, I could just blow off this whole sub-project and use LLVM (or TinyC), or not bother writing anything at all...

What you do with your time is your business. I was trying to help by offering you a known good PRNG, and an alternate symbol generation mechanism, so that you could spend your time writing your compiler and not your symbol generation routines.

But hey, if you want to run with "not written here" for all code that can help you on your way, by all means, keep reimplementing it. I'll do my best to not offer you any more 3rd party code that can help.
