// class description:
//
//      This class is used for multi-threaded Geant4.
//      The object of this class can be set to G4MTRunManager, but not to
//      G4RunManager. G4UserTaskInitialization class has five virtual methods as
//      the user hooks which are invoked at several occasions of the life cycle
//      of each thread.
//
//      - virtual void WorkerInitialize() const
//       This method is called after the tread is created but before the
//       G4WorkerTaskRunManager is instantiated.
//      - virtual void WorkerStart() const
//       This method is called once at the beginning of simulation job when
//       kernel classes and user action classes have already instantiated but
//       geometry and physics have not been yet initialized. This situation is
//       identical to "PreInit" state in the sequential mode.
//      - virtual void WorkerRunStart() const
//       This method is called before an event loop. Geometry and physics have
//       already been set up for the thread. All threads are synchronized and
//       ready to start the local event loop. This situation is identical to
//       "Idle" state in the sequential mode.
//      - virtual void WorkerRunEnd() const
//       This method is called for each thread when the local event loop is
//       done, but before the synchronization over threads.
//      - virtual void WorkerStop() const
//       This method is called once at the end of simulation job.
//
//      Note: This object should be instantiated only once and set to
//      G4MTRunManager,
//       while these five methods are invoked for each worker thread. Thus, to
//       store thread-local objects, use G4ThreadLocal keyword.
