43  *  \p device_ptr has pointer semantics: it may be dereferenced safely from the host and
44  *  may be manipulated with pointer arithmetic.
45  *
46  *  \p device_ptr can be created with the functions device_malloc, device_new, or
47  *  device_pointer_cast, or by explicitly calling its constructor with a raw pointer.
48  *
49  *  The raw pointer encapsulated by a \p device_ptr may be obtained by either its <tt>get</tt>
50  *  method or the \p raw_pointer_cast free function.
51  *
52  *  \note \p device_ptr is not a smart pointer; it is the programmer's responsibility to
53  *  deallocate memory pointed to by \p device_ptr.
