| CMaskedIntersectable | Carve out some part of an intersectable. This is a masking approach based on intersection routine.

There is a trade-off between these approaches: masking in intersection routine samples the mask texture (usually a slower operation) in the tight loop of acceleration structure traversal, while masking in BSDF will need to re-enter the acceleration structure multiple times (such as when rendering a forest) which can also be slow |

| CTAnyPtr | A type-safe, lightweight wrapper for any raw pointer type. Using std::any with a raw pointer type could achieve similar functionality. However, this class is dedicated for raw pointers and is guaranteed to have no dynamic allocation |
| CTAosTriMesh | |
| CTArrayHeap | A fixed size heap backed by an array. The container inherits the properties of a fixed size array of type T. The container keeps all N elements alive until its lifetime ends, even if elements are popped/removed from the stack. It is guaranteed that no dynamic memory allocation takes place |
| CTArrayStack | A fixed size stack backed by an array. The container inherits the properties of a fixed size array of type T. The container keeps all N elements alive until its lifetime ends, even if elements are popped/removed from the stack. It is guaranteed that no dynamic memory allocation takes place |
| CTArrayVector | A fixed size vector backed by an array. The container inherits the properties of a fixed size array of type T. The container keeps all N elements alive until its lifetime ends, even if elements are popped/removed from the vector. It is guaranteed that no dynamic memory allocation takes place |
| CTAtomicQuasiQueue | A multi-producer, multi-consumer, lock-free concurrent queue-like structure. For single-thread uses, it is a FIFO queue. For multi-thread uses, it is mostly a FIFO queue. Specifically, items put in by a given producer will all come out in the same order (FIFO). But there is no coordination between items from other producers–two items put in by two different producers will come out in an undefined order relative to each other (the interleaving between different streams of items from different producers is undefined, even with external synchronization). It is possible some items will starve in the queue if more items are enqueued than dequeued. Guarantees aquire-release semantics for items that are enqueued/dequeued |

Specifically, items put in by a given producer will all come out in the same order (FIFO). But there is no coordination between items from other producers–two items put in by two different producers will come out in an undefined order relative to each other (the interleaving between different streams of items from different producers is undefined, even with external synchronization).

| CTColorPixelTexture2D | |
| CTConstantSpectralTexture | A constant color texture that can adapt spectral values to spectrum. Converts spectral values to spectrum based on parameters obtained during rendering |
| CTConstantTexture | Texture storing one single constant of arbitrary type. This texture provides only a constant value. Input color usages are ignored. For color-related constants, consider using TConstantTristimulusTexture or TConstantSpectralTexture; otherwise, it is recommended to bake color-related side effects (e.g., color usages) into the constant |
| CTConstantTristimulusTexture | A constant color texture that can adapt values in tristimulus color space to spectrum. Converts tristimulus values to spectrum based on parameters obtained during rendering |

| CTransformInfo | |
| CTransientResourceCache | Provides thread-safe cooked data creation and storage. Similar to TransientVisualElement, this cache will be cleared before rendering starts. All methods are thread-safe to call, however manipulating the created data is not thread-safe unless stated explicitly |
| CTransientVisualElement | A group of cooked data that represent the visible part of the scene at a specific time. This data block do not persist throughout the rendering process. After cooking is done, all cooked data should be properly interlinked and TransientVisualElement will be cleaned up |

| CTSdlAbstractValue | General concept of a SDL value type |
| CTSdlAccessorVariant | |
| CTSdlAnyInstance | References a SDL object. This is a lightweight utility for referencing SDL objects. Following objects are valid targets to be referenced by this type: |
| CTSdlBool | A field class that binds a bool member variable |
| CTSdlBruteForceFieldSet | A set of fields, with basic functionalities |
| CTSdlEnum | A helper for accessing SDL enum properties |
| CTSdlEnumField | |
| CTSdlGeneralEnum | SDL enum implementation with common features. Enum value and string mapping are done in a brute-force way. This SDL enum type supports enum entries with identical value or name, which is useful for giving the user more tolerance on specifying inputs (e.g., case inconsistency). See getTypedEntry() for more details |
| CTSdlInteger | A field class that binds a integral member variable |
| CTSdlMethod | SDL binding type for a canonical SDL method |
| CTSdlNestedField | A field that lives within an inner object |
| CTSdlOptionalValue | Abstractions for a SDL value type that can be empty |
| CTSdlOwnedField | Abstraction for a value that is owned by some owner type. Governs how a field should be initialized on the policy level |
| CTSdlOwnerClass | SDL binding type for a canonical SDL resource class |
| CTSdlOwnerStruct | SDL binding type for a typical C++ struct |
| CTSdlPath | A field class that binds a Path member variable |
| CTSdlQuaternion | |
| CTSdlReal | A field class that binds a floating point member variable |
| CTSdlRealArray | |
| CTSdlReference | A value that points to a SDL resource |
| CTSdlReferenceArray | A value that points to an array of SDL resources |
| CTSdlResourceBase | A convenient ISdlResource with core requirements implemented. This class is similar to SdlResourceBase, except that it provides a way for derived classes to supply static category information. Dynamic category is directly obtained from it |
| CTSdlResourceIdentifier | A field class that binds a resource identifier member. Though the member type that is binded by default can handle any types of identifier (the ResourceIdentifier class, which represents a PRI), this class treat it as a SDL Resource Identifier (SRI) which has a more specific form. On some circumstances it may be desirable to accept any identifier, and this can be achieved by specifying IS_SRI=false |

| CTSortedVector | A sorted container that offers fast value lookup & iteration, while modifications are slow. The container has continuous memory allocation. The values are stored in ascending order |
| CTSPPMRadianceEvaluator | |
| CTSPSCExecutor | A single-producer, single-consumer worker thread. Ctor and dtor are not thread safe. Most of the methods are either producer thread only, or thread-safe. start() must be called before adding work since it also serves as a mean to determine the producer thread. Setters for function callbacks can only be called before start(). Note that if work processor is not set from ctor, setWorkProcessor() must be called with a valid processor function |

For any elements in OutputT that is not part of the swizzle, the value will be as if the element is zero-initialized (or default-initialized depending on the actual type) |
