A TRefTable maintains the association between a referenced object and the parent object supporting this referenced object.

The parent object is typically a branch of a TTree. For each object referenced in a TTree entry, the corresponding entry in the TTree's TBranchRef::fRefTable contains the index of the branch that needs to be loaded to bring the object into memory.

Persistency of a TRefTable is split into two parts:

entry specific information is stored (read) by FillBuffer (ReadBuffer). For each referenced object the object's fUniqueID and the referencing TRef::fPID is stored (to allow the TRefTable to autoload references created by different processes).
non-entry specific, i.e. global information is stored (read) by the Streamer function. This comprises all members marked as persistent.

As TObject::fUniqueID is only unique for a given TProcessID, a table of unique IDs is kept for each used TProcessID. There is no natural order of TProcessIDs, so TRefTable stores a vector of the TGUID of all known TProcessIDs in fProcessGUIDs; the index of a TProcessID in this vector defines the index of the auto-loading info in fParentIDs for that TProcessID. The mapping of TProcessID* to index is cached for quick non-persistent lookup.
