Detailed Description

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
class cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >

Lock-free skip-list set.

The implementation of well-known probabilistic data structure called skip-list invented by W.Pugh in his papers:

  • [1989] W.Pugh Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees
  • [1990] W.Pugh A Skip List Cookbook

A skip-list is a probabilistic data structure that provides expected logarithmic time search without the need of rebalance. The skip-list is a collection of sorted linked list. Nodes are ordered by key. Each node is linked into a subset of the lists. Each list has a level, ranging from 0 to 32. The bottom-level list contains all the nodes, and each higher-level list is a sublist of the lower-level lists. Each node is created with a random top level (with a random height), and belongs to all lists up to that level. The probability that a node has the height 1 is 1/2. The probability that a node has the height N is 1/2 ** N (more precisely, the distribution depends on an random generator provided, but our generators have this property).

The lock-free variant of skip-list is implemented according to book

  • [2008] M.Herlihy, N.Shavit "The Art of Multiprocessor Programming", chapter 14.4 "A Lock-Free Concurrent Skiplist"

Template arguments:

Warning
The skip-list requires up to 67 hazard pointers that may be critical for some GCs for which the guard count is limited (like as gc::HP). Those GCs should be explicitly initialized with hazard pointer enough:
cds::gc::HP myhp( 67 )
. Otherwise an run-time exception may be raised when you try to create skip-list object.
Note
There are several specializations of SkipListSet for each GC. You should include:
  • <cds/container/skip_list_set_hp.h> for gc::HP garbage collector
  • <cds/container/skip_list_set_dhp.h> for gc::DHP garbage collector
  • <cds/container/skip_list_set_rcu.h> for RCU type
  • <cds/container/skip_list_set_nogc.h> for non-deletable SkipListSet

Iterators

The class supports a forward iterator (iterator and const_iterator). The iteration is ordered. The iterator object is thread-safe: the element pointed by the iterator object is guarded, so, the element cannot be reclaimed while the iterator object is alive. However, passing an iterator object between threads is dangerous.

Warning
Due to concurrent nature of skip-list set it is not guarantee that you can iterate all elements in the set: any concurrent deletion can exclude the element pointed by the iterator from the set, and your iteration can be terminated before end of the set. Therefore, such iteration is more suitable for debugging purpose only

Remember, each iterator object requires 2 additional hazard pointers, that may be a limited resource for GC like gc::HP (for gc::DHP the count of guards is unlimited).

The iterator class supports the following minimalistic interface:

struct iterator {
// Default ctor
// Copy ctor
iterator( iterator const& s);
value_type * operator ->() const;
value_type& operator *() const;
// Pre-increment
iterator& operator ++();
// Copy assignment
iterator& operator = (const iterator& src);
bool operator ==(iterator const& i ) const;
bool operator !=(iterator const& i ) const;
};

Note, the iterator object returned by end(), cend() member functions points to nullptr and should not be dereferenced.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ iterator

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
typedef skip_list::details::iterator< typename base_class::iterator > cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::iterator

Iterator type.

The forward iterator has some features:

  • it has no post-increment operator
  • to protect the value, the iterator contains a GC-specific guard + another guard is required locally for increment operator. For some GC (like as gc::HP), a guard is a limited resource per thread, so an exception (or assertion) "no free guard" may be thrown if the limit of guard count per thread is exceeded.
  • The iterator cannot be moved across thread boundary because it contains thread-private GC's guard.
  • Iterator ensures thread-safety even if you delete the item the iterator points to. However, in case of concurrent deleting operations there is no guarantee that you iterate all item in the list. Moreover, a crash is possible when you try to iterate the next element that has been deleted by concurrent thread.
Warning
Use this iterator on the concurrent container for debugging purpose only.

The iterator interface:

class iterator {
public:
// Default constructor
// Copy construtor
iterator( iterator const& src );
// Dereference operator
value_type * operator ->() const;
// Dereference operator
value_type& operator *() const;
// Preincrement operator
iterator& operator ++();
// Assignment operator
iterator& operator = (iterator const& src);
// Equality operators
bool operator ==(iterator const& i ) const;
bool operator !=(iterator const& i ) const;
};

◆ value_type

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
typedef T cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::value_type

Value type to be stored in the set

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
void cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::clear ( )
inline

Clears the set (not atomic).

The function deletes all items from the set. The function is not atomic, thus, in multi-threaded environment with parallel insertions this sequence

set.clear();
assert( set.empty());

the assertion could be raised.

For each item the disposer provided by Traits template parameter will be called.

◆ contains() [1/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::contains ( Q const &  key)
inline

Checks whether the set contains key.

The function searches the item with key equal to key and returns true if it is found, and false otherwise.

◆ contains() [2/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::contains ( Q const &  key,
Less  pred 
)
inline

Checks whether the set contains key using pred predicate for searching.

The function is similar to contains( key ) but pred is used for key comparing. Less functor has the interface like std::less. Less must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ emplace()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename... Args>
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::emplace ( Args &&...  args)
inline

Inserts data of type value_type created in-place from std::forward<Args>(args)...

Returns true if inserting successful, false otherwise.

◆ erase() [1/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::erase ( Q const &  key)
inline

Delete key from the set.

The set item comparator should be able to compare the type value_type and the type Q.

Return true if key is found and deleted, false otherwise

◆ erase() [2/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Func >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::erase ( Q const &  key,
Func  f 
)
inline

Delete key from the set.

The function searches an item with key key, calls f functor and deletes the item. If key is not found, the functor is not called.

The functor Func interface:

struct extractor {
void operator()(value_type const& val);
};

Since the key of value_type is not explicitly specified, template parameter Q defines the key type to search in the list. The list item comparator should be able to compare the type T of list item and the type Q.

Return true if key is found and deleted, false otherwise

◆ erase_with() [1/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::erase_with ( Q const &  key,
Less  pred 
)
inline

Deletes the item from the set using pred predicate for searching.

The function is an analog of erase(Q const&) but pred is used for key comparing. Less functor has the interface like std::less. Less must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ erase_with() [2/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less , typename Func >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::erase_with ( Q const &  key,
Less  pred,
Func  f 
)
inline

Deletes the item from the set using pred predicate for searching.

The function is an analog of erase(Q const&, Func) but pred is used for key comparing. Less functor has the interface like std::less. Less must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ extract()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q >
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::extract ( Q const &  key)
inline

Extracts the item from the set with specified key.

The function searches an item with key equal to key in the set, unlinks it from the set, and returns it as guarded_ptr. If key is not found the function returns an empty guarded pointer.

Note the compare functor should accept a parameter of type Q that can be not the same as value_type.

The item extracted is freed automatically by garbage collector GC when returned guarded_ptr object will be destroyed or released.

Note
Each guarded_ptr object uses the GC's guard that can be limited resource.

Usage:

skip_list theList;
// ...
{
skip_list::guarded_ptr gp(theList.extract( 5 ))
if ( gp ) {
// Deal with gp
// ...
}
// Destructor of gp releases internal HP guard and frees the pointer
}

◆ extract_max()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::extract_max ( )
inline

Extracts an item with maximal key from the set.

The function searches an item with maximal key, unlinks it, and returns the pointer to item found as guarded_ptr. If the skip-list is empty the function returns an empty guarded pointer.

The item found is freed by garbage collector GC automatically when returned guarded_ptr object will be destroyed or released.

Note
Each guarded_ptr object uses the GC's guard that can be limited resource.

Usage:

skip_list theList;
// ...
{
skip_list::guarded_ptr gp( theList.extract_max());
if ( gp ) {
// Deal with gp
//...
}
// Destructor of gp releases internal HP guard and then frees the pointer
}

◆ extract_min()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::extract_min ( )
inline

Extracts an item with minimal key from the set.

The function searches an item with minimal key, unlinks it, and returns pointer to the item found as guarded_ptr. If the skip-list is empty the function returns an empty guarded pointer.

The item extracted is freed automatically by garbage collector GC when returned guarded_ptr object will be destroyed or released.

Note
Each guarded_ptr object uses the GC's guard that can be limited resource.

Usage:

typedef cds::continer::SkipListSet< cds::gc::HP, foo, my_traits > skip_list;
skip_list theList;
// ...
{
skip_list::guarded_ptr gp( theList.extract_min());
if ( gp ) {
// Deal with gp
//...
}
// Destructor of gp releases internal HP guard and then frees the pointer
}

◆ extract_with()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less >
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::extract_with ( Q const &  key,
Less  pred 
)
inline

Extracts the item from the set with comparing functor pred.

The function is an analog of extract(Q const&) but pred predicate is used for key comparing.

Less functor has the semantics like std::less but should take arguments of type value_type and Q in any order. pred must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ find()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Func >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::find ( Q &  key,
Func  f 
)
inline

Find the key.

The function searches the item with key equal to key and calls the functor f for item found. The interface of Func functor is:

struct functor {
void operator()( value_type& item, Q& key );
};

where item is the item found, key is the find function argument.

The functor may change non-key fields of item. Note that the functor is only guarantee that item cannot be disposed during functor is executing. The functor does not serialize simultaneous access to the set's item. If such access is possible you must provide your own synchronization schema on item level to exclude unsafe item modifications.

Note the hash functor specified for class Traits template parameter should accept a parameter of type Q that may be not the same as value_type.

The function returns true if key is found, false otherwise.

◆ find_with()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less , typename Func >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::find_with ( Q &  key,
Less  pred,
Func  f 
)
inline

Finds key using pred predicate for searching.

The function is an analog of find(Q&, Func) but pred is used for key comparing. Less functor has the interface like std::less. Less must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ get()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q >
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::get ( Q const &  key)
inline

Finds key and return the item found.

The function searches the item with key equal to key and returns a guarded pointer to the item found. If key is not found the function returns an empty guarded pointer.

It is safe when a concurrent thread erases the item returned in result guarded pointer. In this case the item will be freed later by garbage collector GC automatically when guarded_ptr object will be destroyed or released.

Note
Each guarded_ptr object uses one GC's guard which can be limited resource.

Usage:

skip_list theList;
// ...
{
skip_list::guarded_ptr gp( theList.get( 5 ));
if ( theList.get( 5 )) {
// Deal with gp
//...
}
// Destructor of guarded_ptr releases internal HP guard
}

Note the compare functor specified for class Traits template parameter should accept a parameter of type Q that can be not the same as value_type.

◆ get_with()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Less >
guarded_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::get_with ( Q const &  key,
Less  pred 
)
inline

Finds key and return the item found.

The function is an analog of get(Q const&) but pred is used for comparing the keys.

Less functor has the semantics like std::less but should take arguments of type value_type and Q in any order. pred must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

◆ insert() [1/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::insert ( Q const &  val)
inline

Inserts new node.

The function creates a node with copy of val value and then inserts the node created into the set.

The type Q should contain as minimum the complete key for the node. The object of value_type should be constructible from a value of type Q. In trivial case, Q is equal to value_type.

Returns true if val is inserted into the set, false otherwise.

◆ insert() [2/2]

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Func >
bool cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::insert ( Q const &  val,
Func  f 
)
inline

Inserts new node.

The function allows to split creating of new item into two part:

  • create item with key only
  • insert new item into the set
  • if inserting is success, calls f functor to initialize value-fields of val.

The functor signature is:

void func( value_type& val );

where val is the item inserted. User-defined functor f should guarantee that during changing val no any other changes could be made on this set's item by concurrent threads. The user-defined functor is called only if the inserting is success.

◆ size()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
size_t cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::size ( ) const
inline

Returns item count in the set.

The value returned depends on item counter type provided by Traits template parameter. If it is atomicity::empty_item_counter this function always returns 0. Therefore, the function is not suitable for checking the set emptiness, use empty() member function for this purpose.

◆ update()

template<typename GC, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
template<typename Q , typename Func >
std::pair<bool, bool> cds::container::SkipListSet< GC, T, Traits >::update ( const Q &  val,
Func  func,
bool  bInsert = true 
)
inline

Updates the item.

The operation performs inserting or changing data with lock-free manner.

If the val key not found in the set, then the new item created from val will be inserted into the set iff bInsert is true. Otherwise, if val is found, the functor func will be called with the item found.

The functor Func signature:

struct my_functor {
void operator()( bool bNew, value_type& item, const Q& val );
};

where:

  • bNew - true if the item has been inserted, false otherwise
  • item - item of the set
  • val - argument key passed into the update() function

The functor may change non-key fields of the item; however, func must guarantee that during changing no any other modifications could be made on this item by concurrent threads.

Returns std::pair<bool, bool> where first is true if operation is successful, i.e. the item has been inserted or updated, second is true if new item has been added or false if the item with key equal to val already exists.
