Thanks for the link. That eventually leads me to
ConcurrentList. I can't use ConcurrentList directly
because I need these:

   void insert_after (G ref_item, G item)
   G get_after (G ref_item)

In non-threaded code, the above can be implemented using

   insert (index_of (ref_item) + 1, G);
   get (index_of (ref_item) + 1)

In multithreaded code, these won't work without locks.

Even though I cannot use ConcurrentList directly,
I hope I can learn something useful from it.


Nice day
