// M. Dobbs and J.B. Hansen, "The HepMC C++ Monte Carlo Event Record for
// High Energy Physics", Computer Physics Communications (to be published).
//
// Event record for MC generators (for use at any stage of generation)
//
// This class is intended as both a "container class" ( to store a MC
//  event for interface between MC generators and detector simulation )
//  and also as a "work in progress class" ( that could be used inside
//  a generator and modified as the event is built ).
//
// Iterators are provided which allow the user to easily obtain a
//  list of particles or vertices in an event --- this list can be filled
//  subject to some sort of selection criteria. Examples are given below
//  ( see HepMC::copy_if and std::copy )

namespace HepMC {

    // To create a list from an iterator, use: (i.e. for a list of particles);
    // #include <algorithm>
    //     list<GenParticle*> thelist;
    //     copy( evt->particles_begin(), evt->particles_end(), 
    //           back_inserter(thelist) );
    // to create a list subject to a condition (predicate) use:
    //     list<GenParticle*> thelist;
    //     HepMC::copy_if( evt->particles_begin(), evt->particles_end(), 
    //                     back_inserter(thelist), is_photon() );
    // where is_photon() is a predicate like:
    //     class is_photon {
    //       public:
    //         bool operator() ( GenParticle const * p ) {
    //             if ( p && p->pdg_id() == 22 ) return true;
    //             return false;
    //         }
    //     };
    // which the user defines herself.

    template <class InputIterator, class OutputIterator, class Predicate>
    void copy_if( InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator out,
                  Predicate pred ) {
        for ( ; first != last; ++first ) { if ( pred(*first) ) out = *first; }
    }
} // HepMC

// Since a container of all vertices in the event is maintained, the time
//  required to loop over all vertices (or particles) is very fast -- and 
//  the user does not gain much by first making his own list.
//  (this is not true for the GenVertex:: versions of these iterators, which
//   allow you to specify the vertex starting point and range)

// Data Members:
// signal_process_id()   The integer ID that uniquely specifies this signal
//                       process, i.e. MSUB in Pythia. It is necessary to
//                       package this with each event rather than with the run
//                       because many processes may be generated within one
//                       run.
// event_number()        Strictly speaking we cannot think of any reason that
//                       an event would need to know its own event number, it
//                       is more likely something that would be assigned by
//                       a database. It is included anyway (tradition?) since
//                       we expect it may be useful for debugging. It can
//                       be reset later by a database.
// mpi()                 The number of multi parton interactions in the event.
//                       This is NOT beam pileup.  Set to -1 by default.
// beam_particles()      A pair of pointers to the incoming beam particles.
// signal_process_vertex() pointer to the vertex containing the signal process
// weights()             Vector of doubles which specify th weight of the evnt,
//                       the first entry will be the "event weight" used for
//                       hit and miss etc., but a general vector is used to
//                       allow for reweighting etc. We envision a list of
//                       WeightTags to be included with a run class which
//                       would specify the meaning of the Weights .
// random_states()       Vector of integers which specify the random number 
//                       generator's state for this event. It is left to the
//                       generator to make use of this. We envision a vector of
//                       RndmStatesTags to be included with a run class which
//                       would specify the meaning of the random_states.
//
// Memory allocation //
// -When a vertex (particle) is added to a event (vertex), it is "adopted" 
//  and becomes the responsibility of the event (vertex) to delete that 
//  particle. 
// -objects responsible for deleting memory:
//    -events delete included vertices
//    -each vertex deletes its outgoing particles which do not have decay
//     vertices
//    -each vertex deletes its incoming particles which do not
//     have creation vertices 
//
// About the Barcodes //
// - each vertex or particle has a barcode, which is just an integer which
//   uniquely identifies it inside the event (i.e. there is a one to one
//   mapping between particle memory addresses and particle barcodes... and 
//   the same applied for vertices)
// - The value of a barcode has NO MEANING and NO ORDER!
//   For the user's convenience, when an event is read in via an IO_method
//   from an indexed list (like the HEPEVT common block), then the index will
//   become the barcode for that particle.
// - particle barcodes are always positive integers
//   vertex barcodes are always negative integers
//   The barcodes are chosen and set automatically when a vertex or particle
//   comes under the ownership of an event (i.e. it is contained in an event).
// - You can tell when a particle or vertex is owned, because its 
//   parent_event() return value will return a pointer to the event which owns
//   it (or null if its an orphan).
