/*
 * Purpose:	Provides a skip list abstract data type.
 *
 *              (See "Deterministic Skip Lists" by Munro, Papadakis & Sedgewick)
 *
 *              (Implementation changed to a deterministic skip list from a
 *               probabilistic one.  This implementation uses a 1-2-3 skip list
 *               using arrays, as described by Munro, Papadakis & Sedgewick.
 *
 *               Arrays are allocated using a free list factory for each size
 *               that is a power of two.  Factories are created as soon as they
 *               are needed, and are never destroyed until the package is shut
 *               down.  There is no longer a maximum level or "p" value.
 *               -NAF 2008/11/05)
 *
 *              (See "Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees"
 *               by William Pugh for additional information)
 *
 *              (This implementation has the optimization for reducing key
 *               key comparisons mentioned in section 3.5 of "A Skip List
 *               Cookbook" by William Pugh
 *              -Removed as our implementation of this was useless for a 1-2-3
 *               skip list.  The implementation in that document hurts
 *               performance, at least for integer keys. -NAF)
 *
 *              (Also, this implementation has a couple of home-grown
 *               optimizations, including setting the "update" vector to the
 *               actual 'forward' pointer to update, instead of the node
 *               containing the forward pointer -QAK
 *              -No longer uses update vector, as insertions/deletions are now
 *               always at level 0. -NAF)
 *
 *              (Note: This implementation does not have the information for
 *               implementing the "Linear List Operations" (like insert/delete/
 *               search by position) in section 3.4 of "A Skip List Cookbook",
 *               but they shouldn't be that hard to add, if necessary)
 *
 *              (This implementation has an additional backward pointer, which
 *               allows the list to be iterated in reverse)
 *
 *              (There's also an article on "Alternating Skip Lists", which
 *              are similar to deterministic skip lists, in the August 2000
 *              issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal)

    Iterate over all the nodes in a skip list, calling an application callback

    The operator callback receives a pointer to the item and key for the list

        B. Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
            value, indicating short-circuit success.
        C. Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,

    The skip list itself is still valid, it just has all its nodes removed.

    The return value from the 'op' routine is ignored.

    This routine is essentially a combination of iterating over all the nodes
    (where the iterator callback is supposed to free the items and/or keys)
    followed by a call to H5SL_release().

 NAME
    H5SL_try_free_safe
 PURPOSE
    Makes the supplied callback on all nodes in the skip list, freeing each
    node that the callback returns TRUE for.
 USAGE
    herr_t PURPOSE(slist,op,opdata)
        H5SL_t *slist;          IN/OUT: Pointer to skip list to release nodes
        H5SL_try_free_op_t op;  IN: Callback function to try to free item & key
        void *op_data;          IN/OUT: Pointer to application data for callback

 RETURNS
    Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Makes the supplied callback on all nodes in the skip list, freeing each
    node that the callback returns TRUE for.  The iteration is performed in
    a safe manner, such that the callback can call H5SL_remove(),
    H5SL_search(), H5SL_find(), and H5SL_iterate() on nodes in this
    skiplist, except H5SL_remove() may not be call on *this* node.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    This function is written to be most efficient when most nodes are
    removed from the skiplist, as it rebuilds the nodes afterwards.
