    \brief Implements a light-weight self-contained VDB data-structure in a
           single file! In other words, this is a significantly watered-down
           version of the OpenVDB implementation, with few dependencies - so
           a one-stop-shop for a minimalistic VDB data structure that run on
           most platforms!

    \note It is important to note that NanoVDB (by design) is a read-only
          sparse GPU (and CPU) friendly data structure intended for applications
          like rendering and collision detection. As such it obviously lacks
          a lot of the functionality and features of OpenVDB grids. NanoVDB
          is essentially a compact linearized (or serialized) representation of
          an OpenVDB tree with getValue methods only. For best performance use
          the ReadAccessor::getValue method as opposed to the Tree::getValue
          method. Note that since a ReadAccessor caches previous access patterns
          it is by design not thread-safe, so use one instantiation per thread
          (it is very light-weight). Also, it is not safe to copy accessors between
          the GPU and CPU! In fact, client code should only interface
          with the API of the Grid class (all other nodes of the NanoVDB data
          structure can safely be ignored by most client codes)!


    \warning NanoVDB grids can only be constructed via tools like createNanoGrid
             or the GridBuilder. This explains why none of the grid nodes defined below
             have public constructors or destructors.

    \details Please see the following paper for more details on the data structure:
          K. Museth, “VDB: High-Resolution Sparse Volumes with Dynamic Topology”,
          ACM Transactions on Graphics 32(3), 2013, which can be found here:
          http://www.museth.org/Ken/Publications_files/Museth_TOG13.pdf

          NanoVDB was first published there: https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3450623.3464653


    Overview: This file implements the following fundamental class that when combined
          forms the backbone of the VDB tree data structure:

          Coord- a signed integer coordinate
          Vec3 - a 3D vector
          Vec4 - a 4D vector
          BBox - a bounding box
          Mask - a bitmask essential to the non-root tree nodes
          Map  - an affine coordinate transformation
          Grid - contains a Tree and a map for world<->index transformations. Use
                 this class as the main API with client code!
          Tree - contains a RootNode and getValue methods that should only be used for debugging
          RootNode - the top-level node of the VDB data structure
          InternalNode - the internal nodes of the VDB data structure
          LeafNode - the lowest level tree nodes that encode voxel values and state
          ReadAccessor - implements accelerated random access operations

    Semantics: A VDB data structure encodes values and (binary) states associated with
          signed integer coordinates. Values encoded at the leaf node level are
          denoted voxel values, and values associated with other tree nodes are referred
          to as tile values, which by design cover a larger coordinate index domain.


    Memory layout:

    It's important to emphasize that all the grid data (defined below) are explicitly 32 byte
    aligned, which implies that any memory buffer that contains a NanoVDB grid must also be at
    32 byte aligned. That is, the memory address of the beginning of a buffer (see ascii diagram below)
    must be divisible by 32, i.e. uintptr_t(&buffer)%32 == 0! If this is not the case, the C++ standard
    says the behaviour is undefined! Normally this is not a concerns on GPUs, because they use 256 byte
    aligned allocations, but the same cannot be said about the CPU.

    GridData is always at the very beginning of the buffer immediately followed by TreeData!
    The remaining nodes and blind-data are allowed to be scattered throughout the buffer,
    though in practice they are arranged as:

    GridData: 672 bytes (e.g. magic, checksum, major, flags, index, count, size, name, map, world bbox, voxel size, class, type, offset, count)

    TreeData: 64 bytes (node counts and byte offsets)

    ... optional padding ...

    RootData: size depends on ValueType (index bbox, voxel count, tile count, min/max/avg/standard deviation)

    Array of: RootData::Tile

    ... optional padding ...

    Array of: Upper InternalNodes of size 32^3:  bbox, two bit masks, 32768 tile values, and min/max/avg/standard deviation values

    ... optional padding ...

    Array of: Lower InternalNodes of size 16^3:  bbox, two bit masks, 4096 tile values, and min/max/avg/standard deviation values

    ... optional padding ...

    Array of: LeafNodes of size 8^3: bbox, bit masks, 512 voxel values, and min/max/avg/standard deviation values

// --------------------------> ReadAccessor <------------------------------------

///        than calling the equivalent method on the tree (i.e. top-down traversal).
///
/// @note  By virtue of the fact that a value accessor accelerates random access operations
///        by re-using cached access patterns, this access should be reused for multiple access
///        operations. In other words, never create an instance of this accessor for a single
///        access only. In general avoid single access operations with this accessor, and
///        if that is not possible call the corresponding method on the tree instead.
///
/// @warning Since this ReadAccessor internally caches raw pointers to the nodes of the tree
///          structure, it is not safe to copy between host and device, or even to share among
///          multiple threads on the same host or device. However, it is light-weight so simple
///          instantiate one per thread (on the host and/or device).
///
/// @details Used to accelerated random access into a VDB tree. Provides on average
///          O(1) random access operations by means of inverse tree traversal,
///          which amortizes the non-const time complexity of the root node.
