arithmetic the prime is restricted to values less than $2^{26}$. arithmetic the prime is restricted to values less than $2^{26}$.
The initial value of $p$ is 67111067. The initial value of $p$ is 67111067.
Note that due to the static prime the type is not thread-safe. In case the flag \ccc{CGAL_HAS_THREADS}
is undefined the prime is just stored in a static member
of the class, that is, \ccRefName\ is not thread-safe in this case.
In case \ccc{CGAL_HAS_THREADS}
the implementation of the class is thread safe using
\ccc{boost::thread_specific_ptr}. However, this may cause some performance
penalty. Hence, it may be advisable to configure \ccc{CGAL} with
\ccc{CGAL_HAS_NO_THREADS}.
