// class G4VPhysicalVolume
//
// Class description:
//
// This is an Abstract Base class for the representation of positioned volume.  
// The volume is placed within a mother volume,  relative to its coordinate 
// system.  Either a single positioned volume or many positioned volume can 
// be represented by a particular G4VPhysicalVolume.

// History:
// 15.01.13 G.Cosmo, A.Dotti: Modified for thread-safety for MT
// 09.11.99 J.Apostolakis: Added GetObjectRotationValue() method & comments
// 28.08.96 P.Kent: Replaced transform by rotmat + vector
// 25.07.96 P.Kent: Modified interface for new `Replica' capable geometry 
// 24.07.95 P.Kent: First non-stub version

// initializes the value for these fields, it refers to them using a macro
// definition defined below. For every G4VPhysicalVolume instance, there is
// a corresponding G4PVData instance. All G4PVData instances are organized
// by the class G4PVManager as an array.
// The field "int instanceID" is added to the class G4VPhysicalVolume.
// The value of this field in each G4VPhysicalVolume instance is the subscript
// of the corresponding G4PVData instance.
// In order to use the class G4PVManager, we add a static member in the class
// G4VPhysicalVolume as follows: "static G4PVManager subInstanceManager;".
// For the master thread, the array for G4PVData instances grows dynamically
// along with G4VPhysicalVolume instances are created. For each worker thread,
// it copies the array of G4PVData instances from the master thread.           
// In addition, it invokes a method similiar to the constructor explicitly
// to achieve the partial effect for each instance in the array.
