// class G4BlockingList
//
// Class description:
//
// A utility class responsible for (efficiently) maintaining a List 
// of blocked volume numbers, with rapid `reset' operations.
//
// Notes:
//
// Implemented via a ValVector of ints: a tag value is used to set
// the indices of blocked volumes. On reset the current tag value is
// increased, so that the ValVector must only be zeroed when the
// numerical range of the tag is used.

// History:
//
// 24.7.96 P.Kent Separated from G4Navigator
