/** @file nodeinvocation.hpp
 ** Organise the state related to the invocation of s single ProcNode::pull() call
 ** This header defines part of the "glue" which holds together the render node network
 ** and enables to pull result frames from the nodes. Doing so requires some invocation
 ** local state to be maintained, especially a table of buffers used to carry out the
 ** calculations. Further, getting the input buffers filled requires to issue recursive
 ** \c pull() calls, which on the whole creates a stack-like assembly of local invocation
 ** state.
 ** The actual steps to be carried out for a \c pull() call are dependent on the configuration
 ** of the node to pull. Each node has been preconfigured by the builder with a Connectivity
 ** descriptor and a concrete type of a StateAdapter. The actual sequence of steps is defined
 ** in the header nodeoperation.hpp out of a set of basic operation steps. These steps all use
 ** the passed in Invocation object (a sub-interface of StateAdapter) to access the various
 ** aspects of the invocation state.
 ** 
 ** # composition of the Invocation State
 ** 
 ** For each individual ProcNode#pull() call, the WiringAdapter#callDown() builds an StateAdapter
 ** instance directly on the stack, managing the actual buffer pointers and state references. Using this
 ** StateAdapter, the predecessor nodes are pulled. The way these operations are carried out is encoded
 ** in the actual StateAdapter type known to the NodeWiring (WiringAdapter) instance. All of these actual
 ** StateAdapter types are built as implementing the engine::StateClosure interface.
 ** 
 ** @todo relies still on an [obsoleted implementation draft](\ref bufftable-obsolete.hpp)
 ** @see engine::ProcNode
 ** @see engine::StateProxy
 ** @see engine::FeedManifold
 ** @see nodewiring.hpp interface for building/wiring the nodes
