*  Name:
*     nullregion.h

*  Type:
*     C include file.

*  Purpose:
*     Define the interface to the NullRegion class.

*  Invocation:
*     #include "nullregion.h"

*  Description:
*     This include file defines the interface to the NullRegion class and
*     provides the type definitions, function prototypes and macros,
*     etc.  needed to use this class.
*
*     The NullRegion class implement a Region with no boundaries.

*  Inheritance:
*     The NullRegion class inherits from the Region class.

*  Feature Test Macros:
*     astCLASS
*        If the astCLASS macro is undefined, only public symbols are
*        made available, otherwise protected symbols (for use in other
*        class implementations) are defined. This macro also affects
*        the reporting of error context information, which is only
*        provided for external calls to the AST library.
