    /** @ingroup cds_nonintrusive_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:
        - \p RCU - one of \ref cds_urcu_gc "RCU type".
        - \p T - type to be stored in the list.
        - \p 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 \p Traits template
        argument.
        Template argument list \p 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 \p std::less<T>.
        - opt::item_counter - the type of item counting feature. Default is \ref 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 \p skip_list::xor_shift, \p skip_list::turbo or
            user-provided one. See \p skip_list::random_level_generator option description for explanation.
            Default is \p skip_list::turbo32.
        - opt::allocator - allocator for skip-list node. Default is \ref 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 <tt><cds/container/skip_list_set_rcu.h></tt> you should include appropriate RCU header file,
        see \ref cds_urcu_gc "RCU type" for list of existing RCU class and corresponding header files.

        <b>Iterators</b>

        The class supports a forward iterator (\ref iterator and \ref 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. \ref erase)
        is not possible.

        @warning The iterator object cannot be passed between threads

        Example how to use skip-list set iterators:
        \code
        // 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
        }
        \endcode

        \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:
        \code
        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;
        };
        \endcode
        Note, the iterator object returned by \ref end, \p cend member functions points to \p nullptr and should not be dereferenced.
