//  Class: avtNullData
//
//  Purpose:
//      This is another data object that avt pipelines can handle. It
//      represents no data.
//
//  Programmer: Mark C. Miller 
//  Creation:   January 7, 2003
//
//  Modifications:
//
//    Hank Childs, Thu Feb  5 17:11:06 PST 2004
//    Moved inlined constructor and destructor definitions to .C files
//    because certain compilers have problems with them.
//
//    Mark C. Miller, Wed Feb  4 19:47:30 PST 2004
//    Added Instance & DerivedCopy, needed by avtDataObject->Clone
//
//    Mark C. Miller, Wed Jul  7 11:42:09 PDT 2004
//    Added method SetWriterShouldMergeParallelStreams and assoc. data member 
//
//    Burlen Loring, Sun Sep  6 14:58:03 PDT 2015
//    Changed the return type of GetNumberOfCells to long long
//
//    Burlen Loring, Wed Oct  7 13:56:05 PDT 2015
//    fix a couple of warnings
//
