/**
* @file
*
* The opal_list_t interface is used to provide a generic
* doubly-linked list container for Open MPI. It was inspired by (but
* is slightly different than) the Stantard Template Library (STL)
* std::list class. One notable difference from std::list is that
* when an opal_list_t is destroyed, all of the opal_list_item_t
* objects that it contains are orphaned -- they are \em not
* destroyed.
*
* The general idea is that opal_list_item_t objects can be put on an
* opal_list_t. Hence, you create a new type that derives from
* opal_list_item_t; this new type can then be used with opal_list_t
* containers.
*
* NOTE: opal_list_item_t instances can only be on \em one list at a
* time. Specifically, if you add an opal_list_item_t to one list,
* and then add it to another list (without first removing it from the
* first list), you will effectively be hosing the first list. You
* have been warned.
*
* If OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG is true, a bunch of checks occur, including
* some spot checks for a debugging reference count in an attempt to
* ensure that an opal_list_item_t is only one *one* list at a time.
* Given the highly concurrent nature of this class, these spot checks
* cannot guarantee that an item is only one list at a time.
* Specifically, since it is a desirable attribute of this class to
* not use locks for normal operations, it is possible that two
* threads may [erroneously] modify an opal_list_item_t concurrently.
*
* The only way to guarantee that a debugging reference count is valid
* for the duration of an operation is to lock the item_t during the
* operation. But this fundamentally changes the desirable attribute
* of this class (i.e., no locks). So all we can do is spot-check the
* reference count in a bunch of places and check that it is still the
* value that we think it should be. But this doesn't mean that you
* can run into "unlucky" cases where two threads are concurrently
* modifying an item_t, but all the spot checks still return the
* "right" values. All we can do is hope that we have enough spot
* checks to statistically drive down the possibility of the unlucky
* cases happening.
