Hello,
Thanks for your email. There is no simple way to do that in GSL. The
way I would recommend is to define an extended type/object in your own
code which includes a gsl_rng object in its struct. The extended type
should have its own custom alloc/free functions, not use the gsl rng
alloc functions.
At the point where you want a plain gsl rng, extract it from the
extended type with a function defined to do that:
rngx * rx = rngx_alloc(Tx, file, ...)
gsl_rng * r = rngx_extract(rx);
