// Class description:
//
// G4PhysicsTable is an utility class for storage of pointers
// to G4PhysicsVector containers. It derives all functionalities
// of STL vector containers with the addition of few methods for
// compatibility with previous implementation based on Rogue-Wave
// pointer collections.
// The constructor given the 'capacity' of the table, pre-allocates
// memory for the specified value by invoking the STL's reserve()
// function, in order to avoid reallocation during insertions.
// G4PhysicsTable has a vector of boolean which are used 
// as 'recalc-needed' flags when processes calculate physics tables. 
// ------------------------------------------------------------
//
// History:
// -------
// - First implementation, based on object model of
//   2nd December 1995. G.Cosmo
// - 1st March 1996, modified. K.Amako
// - 24th February 2001, migration to STL vectors. H.Kurashige
// - 9th March 2001, added Store/RetrievePhysicsTable. H.Kurashige
// - 20th August 2004, added FlagArray and related methods   H.Kurashige
