// This class implements the split-mechanism for shared objects.
// Let's see how it works.
// In the split-class we have an instance of this class and an G4int instanceID
// Every time, in the master thread a new instance of the split-class
// is created the constructor calls:
//   instanceID = g4vuplsplitter.CreateInstance();
// This creates in memory an "array", pointed by "sharedOffset" of capacity
// "totalspace" The array contains "totalobj" (<=totalspace) instances (i.e. the
// array has un-initialized spaces) Note that also the TLS variables "offset"
// and "workertotalspace" have also the same stuff When a worker thread is
// started we can call g4vuplsplitter.NewSubInstances() This will simply
// allocate enough space in the TLS space "offset" and call T::initialize() onto
// the new created methods. Alternatively one can call, when the worker thread
// start, g4vuplsplitter.workerCopySubInstanceArray() That will copy the content
// of master thread "array" into the TLS one
 
// To see this stuff in action see:
// G4VUserPhysicsList class and G4WorkerThread classes.
