/**
* \brief Abstract base class for user-defined theory functions in musrfit.
*
* PUserFcnBase enables extending musrfit with custom theory functions
* beyond the 34 built-in functions. Users create derived classes implementing
* specific physics models, compile them into shared libraries, and load them
* dynamically at runtime via ROOT's plugin mechanism.
*
* \section userfcn_use_cases Use Cases
*
* User functions are valuable for:
* - Novel relaxation mechanisms not in standard library
* - Material-specific models (e.g., Skyrmion lattices, spin ice)
* - Complex multi-component functions requiring custom logic
* - Proprietary or experimental theory functions under development
* - Functions requiring external libraries (GSL, CUDA, MKL, etc.)
* - Performance-critical implementations with custom optimization
*
* \section userfcn_implementation Implementation Guide
*
* <b>Step 1: Create header file (MyUserFcn.h)</b>
* \code{.cpp}
* #ifndef MY_USER_FCN_H
* #define MY_USER_FCN_H
*
* #include "PUserFcnBase.h"
*
* class TMyRelaxation : public PUserFcnBase {
* public:
* TMyRelaxation() {}
* virtual ~TMyRelaxation() {}
*
* virtual Double_t operator()(Double_t t, const std::vector<Double_t> &par) const;
*
* ClassDef(TMyRelaxation, 1)
* };
*
* #endif
* \endcode
*
* <b>Step 2: Implement source file (MyUserFcn.cpp)</b>
* \code{.cpp}
* #include "MyUserFcn.h"
* #include <cmath>
*
* ClassImp(TMyRelaxation)
*
* Double_t TMyRelaxation::operator()(Double_t t, const std::vector<Double_t> &par) const {
* // par[0] = rate (lambda), par[1] = exponent (beta)
* if (t < 0) return 1.0;
* return exp(-pow(par[0] * t, par[1]));
* }
* \endcode
*
* <b>Step 3: Create LinkDef file (MyUserFcnLinkDef.h)</b>
* \code{.cpp}
* #ifdef __CINT__
* #pragma link off all globals;
* #pragma link off all classes;
* #pragma link off all functions;
*
* #pragma link C++ class TMyRelaxation+;
* #endif
* \endcode
*
* <b>Step 4: Build shared library</b>
* \code{.sh}
* rootcint -f MyUserFcnDict.cxx -c MyUserFcn.h MyUserFcnLinkDef.h
* g++ -shared -fPIC -o libMyUserFcn.so MyUserFcn.cpp MyUserFcnDict.cxx \
* $(root-config --cflags --libs) -I$MUSRFIT/include
* \endcode
*
* <b>Step 5: Use in MSR file</b>
* \code
* THEORY
* asymmetry 1
* userFcn libMyUserFcn.so TMyRelaxation 2 3 (rate, exponent)
* \endcode
*
* \section userfcn_global Global Part for Expensive Computations
*
* For functions requiring expensive one-time setup (lookup tables, matrix
* decompositions, file loading), implement the global part interface:
*
* \code{.cpp}
* class TMyComplexFcn : public PUserFcnBase {
* private:
* mutable void *fGlobal; // Pointer to global data
*
* public:
* virtual Bool_t NeedGlobalPart() const { return true; }
*
* virtual void SetGlobalPart(std::vector<void*> &globalPart, UInt_t idx) {
* if (idx < globalPart.size() && globalPart[idx] != nullptr) {
* fGlobal = globalPart[idx]; // Reuse existing
* } else {
* fGlobal = new MyGlobalData(); // Create new
* static_cast<MyGlobalData*>(fGlobal)->Initialize();
* if (idx < globalPart.size())
* globalPart[idx] = fGlobal;
* else
* globalPart.push_back(fGlobal);
* }
* }
*
* virtual Bool_t GlobalPartIsValid() const {
* return fGlobal != nullptr;
* }
*
* // ... operator() uses fGlobal for fast lookup
* };
* \endcode
*
* \section userfcn_parameters Parameter Conventions
*
* <b>In the MSR file THEORY block:</b>
* \code
* userFcn libName.so ClassName param1 param2 ... paramN
* \endcode
*
* Parameters can be:
* - Direct numbers: \c 1, \c 2 → parameter indices from FITPARAMETER block
* - Map references: \c map1, \c map2 → via RUN block map
* - Function references: \c fun1, \c fun2 → evaluated FUNCTIONS
*
* <b>Convention:</b> The last parameter is typically a time shift.
*
* \see PTheory for how user functions are loaded and called
* \see PUserFcn for a simple example implementation
