// InlineSkipList is derived from SkipList (skiplist.h), but it optimizes
// the memory layout by requiring that the key storage be allocated through
// the skip list instance.  For the common case of SkipList<const char*,
// Cmp> this saves 1 pointer per skip list node and gives better cache
// locality, at the expense of wasted padding from using AllocateAligned
// instead of Allocate for the keys.  The unused padding will be from
// 0 to sizeof(void*)-1 bytes, and the space savings are sizeof(void*)
// bytes, so despite the padding the space used is always less than
// SkipList<const char*, ..>.
//
// Thread safety -------------
//
// Writes via Insert require external synchronization, most likely a mutex.
// InsertConcurrently can be safely called concurrently with reads and
// with other concurrent inserts.  Reads require a guarantee that the
// InlineSkipList will not be destroyed while the read is in progress.
// Apart from that, reads progress without any internal locking or
// synchronization.
//
// Invariants:
//
// (1) Allocated nodes are never deleted until the InlineSkipList is
// destroyed.  This is trivially guaranteed by the code since we never
// delete any skip list nodes.
//
// (2) The contents of a Node except for the next/prev pointers are
// immutable after the Node has been linked into the InlineSkipList.
// Only Insert() modifies the list, and it is careful to initialize a
// node and use release-stores to publish the nodes in one or more lists.
//
// ... prev vs. next pointer ordering ...
