The general idea of this # implementation is this: each node has a successor which is an Atomic # Markable Reference. This is used to ensure that all modifications to the # list are atomic, preserving the structure of the linked list under _any_ # circumstance in a multithreaded application. # # One interesting aspect of this algorithm occurs with removing a node. # Instead of physically removing a node when remove is called, a node is # logically removed, by 'marking it.' By doing this, we prevent calls to # `remove` from traversing the list twice to perform a physical removal. # Instead, we have have calls to `add` and `remove` clean up all marked # nodes they encounter while traversing the list. # # This algorithm is a variation of the Nonblocking Linked Set found in # 'The Art of Multiprocessor Programming' by Herlihy and Shavit. class LockFreeLinkedSet include Enumerable # @!macro [attach] lock_free_linked_list_method_initialize # # @param [Fixnum] initial_size the size of the linked_list to initialize def initialize(initial_size = 0, val = nil) @head = Head.new initial_size.times do val = block_given? ? yield : val add val end end # @!macro [attach] lock_free_linked_list_method_add # # Atomically adds the item to the set if it does not yet exist.
