An iterator that traverses the data structure items is a highly desirable interface that often exists for sequential data structures but is missing from (almost all) concurrent data-structure implementations. In this paper we introduce a technique for adding a linearizable wait-free iterator to a wait-free or a lock-free data structure that implements a set. We use this technique to implement an iterator for the wait-free and lock-free linked-lists and for the lock-free skip-list.","url_abs":"https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-41527-2_16#Abs1","url_pdf":"http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~erez/Papers/iterators-disc13.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"lock-free-data-structure-iterators","repo_url":"https://github.com/Ch-LZ/scientific-iterator","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
