/** \class TRefArray
\ingroup Containers
An array of references to TObjects. The array expands automatically
when  objects are added (shrinking can be done by hand using Expand() )
 
The TRefArray can be filled with:
~~~ {.cpp}
    array.Add(obj)
    array.AddAt(obj,i)
    but not array[i] = obj  !!!
~~~
The array elements can be retrieved with:
~~~ {.cpp}
    TObject *obj = array.At(i);
~~~
By default the TRefArray 'points' to the current process and can only
receive object that have been created in this process.
To point the TRefArray to a different process do:
~~~ {.cpp}
    TRefArray array( processId );
~~~
For example, if 'obj' is an instance that was created in the different
process and you do:
~~~ {.cpp}
    TRefArray array( TProcessID::GetProcessWithUID( obj ) );
~~~
Then
~~~ {.cpp}
    array.Add(obj);
~~~
is correct (obj comes from the process the array is pointed to
while
~~~ {.cpp}
    TObject *nobj = new TObject;
    array.Add(nobj);
~~~
is incorrect since 'nobj' was created in a different process than the
one the array is pointed to. In this case you will see error message:
~~~ {.cpp}
    Error in <TRefArray::AddAtAndExpand>: The object at 0x... is not
    registered in the process the TRefArray point to
    (pid = ProcessID../....)
~~~
When a TRefArray is Streamed, only the pointer unique id is written,
not the referenced object. TRefArray may be assigned to different
branches of one Tree or several Trees.
The branch containing the TRefArray can be read before or after the
array (eg TClonesArray, STL vector,..) of the referenced objects.
 
See an example in $ROOTSYS/test/Event.h
 
### RESTRICTIONS when using TRefArray
 
  - Elements in a TRefArray cannot point to a TFile or TDirectory.
  - All elements of a TRefArray must be set in the same process,
    In particular, one cannot modify some elements of the array in
    a different process.
 
Use an array of TRef when one of the above restrictions is met.
 
The number of TRef handled by a single process id is limited to
16777215 (see TRef for more detail).   When the TProcessID is full
(has seen 16777215 objects), we switch to new one TProcessID
maximum 65535 including the TProcessIDs read from file).
However TRefArray can not switch to new TProcessID if they already
contain objects.
 
When the TProcessID has been switched due to overflow and an new
object is added to an existing, empty TRefArray, you will see:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
Warning in <TRefArray::AddAtAndExpand>: The ProcessID for the 0x5f83819e8 has been switched to ProcessID4/6c89f37e-8259-11e2-9717-166ee183beef:4
~~~
If the TRefArray was not empty, you will see:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
Error in <TRefArray::AddAtAndExpand>: The object at %p can not be registered in the process the TRefArray points to (pid = ProcessID4/6c89f37e-8259-11e2-9717-166ee183beef) because the ProcessID has too many objects and the TRefArray already contains other objects.
~~~
When running out of TProcessIds, you will see:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
Warning in <TProcessID::AddProcessID>: Maximum number of TProcessID (65535) is almost reached (one left).  TRef will stop being functional when the limit is reached.
Fatal in <TProcessID::AddProcessID>: Maximum number of TProcessID (65535) has been reached.  TRef are not longer functional.
