Namespace
    Foam::ListListOps

Description
    Various utility functions to work on Lists of Lists (usually resulting
    from 'gather'ing and combining information from individual processors)

    - combine : \n
        takes (elements of) sublists and appends them into one big list.
    - combineOffset : \n
        similar and also adds offset.

    The access of data is through an AccessOp so that data can be 'gather'ed
    in one go, minimizing communication, and then picked apart and recombined.

    Example:
    @code
        // Assuming myContainer defined which holds all the data I want to
        // transfer (say a pointField and a faceList). myContainer also defines
        // access operators to
        // access the individual elements, say myContainerPoints::operator(),
        // and myContainerFaces::operator()

        List<myContainer> gatheredData(Pstream::nProcs());
        gatheredData[Pstream::myProcNo()] = myContainer(points, faces);

        // Gather data onto master
        Pstream::gatherList(gatheredData);

        // Combine
        pointField combinedPoints
        (
            ListListOps::combine<pointField>
            (
                gatheredData,
                myContainerPoints()
            )
        );

        // Combine and renumber (so combinedFaces indexes combinedPoints)

        // Extract sizes of individual lists
        labelList sizes
        (
            ListListOps::subSizes(gatheredData, myContainerPoints())
        );

        // Renumber using user-defined operator offsetOp<face>()
        faceList combinedFaces
        (
            ListListOps::combineOffset<faceList>
            (
                gatheredData, sizes, myContainerFaces(), offsetOp<face>()
            )
        );
    @endcode
