/*! \p device_ptr stores a pointer to an object allocated in device memory. This type
 *  provides type safety when dispatching standard algorithms on ranges resident in
 *  device memory.
 *
 *  \p device_ptr has pointer semantics: it may be dereferenced safely from the host and
 *  may be manipulated with pointer arithmetic.
 *
 *  \p device_ptr can be created with the functions device_malloc, device_new, or
 *  device_pointer_cast, or by explicitly calling its constructor with a raw pointer.
 *
 *  The raw pointer encapsulated by a \p device_ptr may be obtained by either its <tt>get</tt>
 *  method or the \p raw_pointer_cast free function.
 *
 *  \note \p device_ptr is not a smart pointer; it is the programmer's responsibility to
 *  deallocate memory pointed to by \p device_ptr.
