InternalState

Name

InternalState --  Archiving routines for internal generator and distribution state.

Description

Methods to save the internal state of an object (generator, distribution) to a memory buffer allocated by the calling program, and to set the state of an object from previously saved state data, provided in a memory buffer.

NOTE: the putStateInto/setStateFrom methods are NOT portable across architectures, since they store integers and doubles using different byte orders. A portable storage method may be provided in the next release.
