Detailed Description

template<typename RCU, typename T, typename Traits = skip_list::traits>
class cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >

Lock-free skip-list set (template specialization for RCU)

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:

• RCU - one of RCU type.
• T - type to be stored in the list.
• Traits - set traits, default is skip_list::traits for explanation.

It is possible to declare option-based list with cds::container::skip_list::make_traits metafunction istead of Traits template argument. Template argument list Options of cds::container::skip_list::make_traits metafunction are:

• opt::compare - key comparison functor. No default functor is provided. If the option is not specified, the opt::less is used.
• opt::less - specifies binary predicate used for key comparison. Default is std::less<T>.
• opt::item_counter - the type of item counting feature. Default is atomicity::empty_item_counter that is no item counting.
• opt::memory_model - C++ memory ordering model. Can be opt::v::relaxed_ordering (relaxed memory model, the default) or opt::v::sequential_consistent (sequentially consisnent memory model).
• skip_list::random_level_generator - random level generator. Can be skip_list::xor_shift, skip_list::turbo or user-provided one. See skip_list::random_level_generator option description for explanation. Default is skip_list::turbo32.
• opt::allocator - allocator for skip-list node. Default is CDS_DEFAULT_ALLOCATOR.
• opt::back_off - back-off strategy used. If the option is not specified, the cds::backoff::Default is used.
• opt::stat - internal statistics. Available types: skip_list::stat, skip_list::empty_stat (the default)
• opt::rcu_check_deadlock - a deadlock checking policy. Default is opt::v::rcu_throw_deadlock

Note

Before including <cds/container/skip_list_set_rcu.h> you should include appropriate RCU header file, see RCU type for list of existing RCU class and corresponding header files.

Iterators

The class supports a forward iterator (iterator and const_iterator). The iteration is ordered.

You may iterate over skip-list set items only under RCU lock. Only in this case the iterator is thread-safe since while RCU is locked any set's item cannot be reclaimed.

The requirement of RCU lock during iterating means that deletion of the elements (i.e. erase) is not possible.

Warning

The iterator object cannot be passed between threads

Example how to use skip-list set iterators:

// First, you should include the header for RCU type you have chosen
#include <cds/urcu/general_buffered.h>
#include <cds/container/skip_list_set_rcu.h>

typedef cds::urcu::gc< cds::urcu::general_buffered<> > rcu_type;

struct Foo {
    // ...
};

// Traits for your skip-list.
// At least, you should define cds::opt::less or cds::opt::compare for Foo struct
struct my_traits: public cds::continer::skip_list::traits
{
    // ...
};
typedef cds::container::SkipListSet< rcu_type, Foo, my_traits > my_skiplist_set;

my_skiplist_set theSet;

// ...

// Begin iteration
{
    // Apply RCU locking manually
    typename rcu_type::scoped_lock sl;

    for ( auto it = theList.begin(); it != theList.end(); ++it ) {
        // ...
    }

    // rcu_type::scoped_lock destructor releases RCU lock implicitly
}

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 purposes

The iterator class supports the following minimalistic interface:

struct iterator {
    // Default ctor
    iterator();

    // 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.

Forward iterator.

The forward iterator has some features:

• it has no post-increment operator
• it depends on iterator of underlying OrderedList

You may safely use iterators in multi-threaded environment only under RCU lock. Otherwise, a crash is possible if another thread deletes the element the iterator points to.

typedef base_class::rcu_lock cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::rcu_lock

RCU scoped lock

Member Function Documentation

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

void cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::clear ( )

inline

Clears the set (non-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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

The function applies RCU lock internally.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename... Args>

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::emplace ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Inserts data of type value_type constructed with std::forward<Args>(args)...

Returns true if inserting successful, false otherwise.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::erase ( Q const &  key )

inline

Delete key from the set.

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

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

Return true if key is found and deleted, false otherwise

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Func >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 MichaelHashSet's value_type is not explicitly specified, template parameter Q defines the key type searching in the list. The list item comparator should be able to compare the type T of list item and the type Q.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

Return true if key is found and deleted, false otherwise

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less , typename Func >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q >

exempt_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 exempt_ptr pointer to the item found. If the item is not found the function returns an empty exempt_ptr

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

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should NOT be locked.

The function does not free the item found. The item will be implicitly freed when the returned object is destroyed or when its release() member function is called.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

exempt_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::extract_max ( )

inline

Extracts an item with maximal key from the set.

The function searches an item with maximal key, unlinks it from the set, and returns exempt_ptr pointer to the item. If the skip-list is empty the function returns an empty exempt_ptr.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should NOT be locked.

The function does not free the item found. The item will be implicitly freed when the returned object is destroyed or when its release() member function is called.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

exempt_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 exempt_ptr pointer to the item. If the skip-list is empty the function returns an empty exempt_ptr.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should NOT be locked.

The function does not free the item found. The item will be implicitly freed when the returned object is destroyed or when its release() member function is called.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less >

exempt_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 has the semantics like std::less. pred must imply the same element order as the comparator used for building the set.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Func >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::find ( Q &  val, Func  f  )

inline

Find the key val.

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

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

where item is the item found, val 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.

The val argument is non-const since it can be used as f functor destination i.e., the functor can modify both arguments.

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 applies RCU lock internally.

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

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less , typename Func >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::find_with ( Q &  val, Less  pred, Func  f  )

inline

Finds the key val 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q >

raw_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 raw_ptr object pointed to item found. If key is not found it returns empty raw_ptr.

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

RCU should be locked before call of this function. Returned item is valid only while RCU is locked:

typedef cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< cds::urcu::general_buffered<> >, foo, my_traits > skip_list;
skip_list theList;
// ...
typename skip_list::raw_ptr pVal;
{
    // Lock RCU
    skip_list::rcu_lock lock;

    pVal = theList.get( 5 );
    if ( pVal ) {
        // Deal with pVal
        //...
    }
}
// You can manually release pVal after RCU-locked section
pVal.release();

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Less >

raw_ptr cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, T, Traits >::get_with ( Q const &  val, Less  pred  )

inline

Finds the key val 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

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

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Func >

bool cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

size_t cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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.

template<typename RCU , typename T , typename Traits = skip_list::traits>

template<typename Q , typename Func >

std::pair<bool, bool> cds::container::SkipListSet< cds::urcu::gc< RCU >, 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 val not found in the set, then the new item created from val is inserted into the set iff bInsert is true. Otherwise, the functor func is 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 - an item of the set
• val - argument val 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.

RCU synchronize method can be called. RCU should not be locked.

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