//!A smart pointer that stores the offset between between the pointer and the
//!the object it points. This allows offset allows special properties, since
//!the pointer is independent from the address of the pointee, if the
//!pointer and the pointee are still separated by the same offset. This feature
//!converts offset_ptr in a smart pointer that can be placed in shared memory and
//!memory mapped files mapped in different addresses in every process.
//!
//! \tparam PointedType The type of the pointee.
//! \tparam DifferenceType A signed integer type that can represent the arithmetic operations on the pointer
//! \tparam OffsetType An unsigned integer type that can represent the
//!   distance between two pointers reinterpret_cast-ed as unsigned integers. This type
//!   should be at least of the same size of std::uintptr_t. In some systems it's possible to communicate
//!   between 32 and 64 bit processes using 64 bit offsets.
//! \tparam OffsetAlignment Alignment of the OffsetType stored inside. In some systems might be necessary
//!   to align it to 64 bits in order to communicate 32 and 64 bit processes using 64 bit offsets.
//!
//!<b>Note</b>: offset_ptr uses implementation defined properties, present in most platforms, for
//!performance reasons:
//!   - Assumes that OffsetType representation of nullptr is (OffsetType)zero.
//!   - Assumes that incrementing a OffsetType obtained from a pointer is equivalent
//!     to incrementing the pointer and then converting it back to OffsetType.
