Class Description

 TProcessID

 A TProcessID identifies a ROOT job in a unique way in time and space.
 The TProcessID title consists of a TUUID object which provides a globally
 unique identifier (for more see TUUID.h).

 A TProcessID is automatically created by the TROOT constructor.
 When a TFile contains referenced objects (see TRef), the TProcessID
 object is written to the file.
 If a file has been written in multiple sessions (same machine or not),
 a TProcessID is written for each session.
 These objects are used by the class TRef to uniquely identified
 any TObject pointed by a TRef.

 When a referenced object is read from a file (its bit kIsReferenced is set),
 this object is entered into the objects table of the corresponding TProcessID.
 Each TFile has a list of TProcessIDs (see TFile::fProcessIDs) also
 accessible via TProcessID::fgPIDs (for all files).
 When this object is deleted, it is removed from the table via the cleanup
 mechanism invoked by the TObject destructor.

 Each TProcessID has a table (TObjArray *fObjects) that keeps track
 of all referenced objects. If a referenced object has a fUniqueID set,
 a pointer to this unique object may be found via fObjects->At(fUniqueID).
 In the same way, when a TRef::GetObject is called, GetObject uses
 its own fUniqueID to find the pointer to the referenced object.
 See TProcessID::GetObjectWithID and PutObjectWithID.

 When a referenced object is deleted, its slot in fObjects is set to null.

 See also TProcessUUID: a specialized TProcessID to manage the single list
 of TUUIDs.

 TProcessID copy ctor.

 static function to add a new TProcessID to the list of PIDs

 static function returning the ID assigned to obj
 If the object is not yet referenced, its kIsReferenced bit is set
 and its fUniqueID set to the current number of referenced objects so far.

 static function (called by TROOT destructor) to delete all TProcessIDs

 delete the TObjArray pointing to referenced objects
 this function is called by TFile::Close("R")

 static function returning a pointer to TProcessID number pid in fgPIDs

 static function returning a pointer to TProcessID with its pid
 encoded in the highest byte of uid

 static function returning the pointer to the session TProcessID

 Return the current referenced object count
 fgNumber is incremented everytime a new object is referenced

returns the TObject with unique identifier uid in the table of objects
if (!fObjects) fObjects = new TObjArray(100);

 static function. return kTRUE if pid is a valid TProcessID

 static function

 called by the object destructor
 remove reference to obj from the current table if it is referenced

 static function to set the current referenced object count
 fgNumber is incremented everytime a new object is referenced

 static function
 Check if the ProcessID pid is already in the file.
 if not, add it and return the index  number in the local file list
