/** \class TClonesArray
\ingroup Containers
An array of clone (identical) objects. Memory for the objects
stored in the array is allocated only once in the lifetime of the
clones array. All objects must be of the same class. For the rest
this class has the same properties as TObjArray.
 
To reduce the very large number of new and delete calls in large
loops like this (O(100000) x O(10000) times new/delete):
~~~ {.cpp}
  TObjArray a(10000);
  while (TEvent *ev = (TEvent *)next()) {      // O(100000) events
     for (int i = 0; i < ev->Ntracks; i++) {   // O(10000) tracks
        a[i] = new TTrack(x,y,z,...);
        ...
        ...
     }
     ...
     a.Delete();
  }
~~~
One better uses a TClonesArray which reduces the number of
new/delete calls to only O(10000):
~~~ {.cpp}
  TClonesArray a("TTrack", 10000);
  while (TEvent *ev = (TEvent *)next()) {      // O(100000) events
     for (int i = 0; i < ev->Ntracks; i++) {   // O(10000) tracks
        new(a[i]) TTrack(x,y,z,...);
        ...
        ...
     }
     ...
     a.Delete(); // or a.Clear() or a.Clear("C")
  }
~~~
To reduce the number of call to the constructor (especially useful
if the user class requires memory allocation), the object can be
added (and constructed when needed) using ConstructedAt which only
calls the constructor once per slot.
~~~ {.cpp}
  TClonesArray a("TTrack", 10000);
  while (TEvent *ev = (TEvent *)next()) {      // O(100000) events
     for (int i = 0; i < ev->Ntracks; i++) {   // O(10000) tracks
        TTrack *track = (TTrack*)a.ConstructedAt(i);
        track->Set(x,y,z,....);
        ...
        ...
     }
     ...
     a.Clear(); // or a.Clear("C");
  }
~~~
Note: the only supported way to add objects to a TClonesArray is
via the new with placement method or the ConstructedAt method.
The other Add() methods ofTObjArray and its base classes are not
allowed.
 
Considering that a new/delete costs about 70 mus on a 300 MHz HP,
O(10^9) new/deletes will save about 19 hours.
 
### NOTE 1
 
C/C++ offers the possibility of allocating and deleting memory.
Forgetting to delete allocated memory is a programming error called a
"memory leak", i.e. the memory of your process grows and eventually
your program crashes. Even if you *always* delete the allocated
memory, the recovered space may not be efficiently reused. The
process knows that there are portions of free memory, but when you
allocate it again, a fresh piece of memory is grabbed. Your program
is free from semantic errors, but the total memory of your process
still grows, because your program's memory is full of "holes" which
reduce the efficiency of memory access; this is called "memory
fragmentation". Moreover new / delete are expensive operations in
terms of CPU time.
 
Without entering into technical details, TClonesArray allows you to
"reuse" the same portion of memory for new/delete avoiding memory
fragmentation and memory growth and improving the performance by
orders of magnitude. Every time the memory of the TClonesArray has
to be reused, the Clear() method is used. To provide its benefits,
each TClonesArray must be allocated *once* per process and disposed
of (deleted) *only when not needed any more*.
 
So a job should see *only one* deletion for each TClonesArray,
which should be Clear()ed during the job several times. Deleting a
TClonesArray is a double waste. Not only you do not avoid memory
fragmentation, but you worsen it because the TClonesArray itself
is a rather heavy structure, and there is quite some code in the
destructor, so you have more memory fragmentation and slower code.
 
### NOTE 2
 
When investigating misuse of TClonesArray, please make sure of the following:
 
   - Use Clear() or Clear("C") instead of Delete(). This will improve
     program execution time.
   - TClonesArray object classes containing pointers allocate memory.
     To avoid causing memory leaks, special Clear("C") must be used
     for clearing TClonesArray. When option "C" is specified, ROOT
     automatically executes the Clear() method (by default it is
     empty contained in TObject). This method must be overridden in
     the relevant TClonesArray object class, implementing the reset
     procedure for pointer objects.
   - If the objects are added using the placement new then the Clear must
     deallocate the memory.
   - If the objects are added using TClonesArray::ConstructedAt then the
     heap-based memory can stay allocated and reused as the constructor is
     not called for already constructed/added object.
   - To reduce memory fragmentation, please make sure that the
     TClonesArrays are not destroyed and created on every event. They
     must only be constructed/destructed at the beginning/end of the
     run.
