/* The purpose of this class is to allow an object that gets sent to device via a lambda function (copy by value) to also contain an array of member objects (in host memory only) that contain Kokkos Views.
 * This is not allowed by std::vector due to the vector destructor not compiling with cuda, and using a Kokkos::View creates warnings and is generally overkill.
 * All we want is an array that does not get deallocated when a copy of the array is destroyed.
 * The default constructor, copy assignment, copy constructor, and destructor can be safely called from device; none of these allocate or deallocate memory.
 * All other operations are host-only.
