// This file is a part of the CLHEP - a Class Library for High Energy Physics.
// 
// This software written by Nobu Katayama and Mike Smyth, Cornell University.
// 
//    This file contains an attempt to make the template "pile".  A pile is 
//    a finite size LIFO stack.  When a element is pushed on that increases
//    the stack beyond its maximum size, the oldest element is deleted from 
//    the stack.  A subroutine can be used on that oldest element first.

//    The orginal use of this stack was to store old double arrays.  When
//    a new array is needed, we can simply pull one off the pile.  However,
//    we don't want to keep too many old array's around, after a while we just
//    want to start getting rid of them.  When the pile gets too large, or
//    when the pile is destroyed, we want to call subroutines to get rid of
//    some of these arrays.

//    Unfortunately, in version 2.2 of g++ templates don't seem to work unless
//    they are declared inline.  So this class has ridiculously long inline
//    functions.  Also, g++ doesn't seem to allow multiple arguements to 
//    templates, so the size of the pile is hardwired in.  To change the size,
//    change the value of the const int sz.

//    A pile is easy to use.  Just declare pile<X> X_pile.  To add a X to the
//    pile, say X_pile.push(X item).  To get an item from the pile, first 
//    check that the pile is not empty, and then say item=X_pile.pop().  It
//    is an error to try and pop from an empty pile.  To check if a pile is
//    empty, say X_pile.is_empty().  If this is TRUE, then the pile is empty.
//    Otherwise it is FALSE.  The subroutine called when the stack begins to
//    overflow is set by X_pile.destroy(void (*function)(X)), or it can be
//    set in the construction pile<X> X_pile(void (*function)(X)).  It is
//    okay to not supply a function, in that case nothing is done when an
//    item falls off the bottom of the pile.  It is simply lost.
