    /// Iterable lock-free ordered single-linked list
    /** @ingroup cds_intrusive_list
        \anchor cds_intrusive_IterableList_hp

        This non-blocking list implementation supports thread-safe iterators;
        searching and removing are lock-free, inserting is non-blocking because it
        uses a light-weight synchronization based on marked pointers.

        Unlike \p cds::intrusive::MichaelList the iterable list does not require
        any hook in \p T to be stored in the list.

        Usually, ordered single-linked list is used as a building block for the hash table implementation.
        Iterable list is suitable for almost append-only hash table because the list doesn't delete
        its internal node when erasing a key but it is marked them as empty to be reused in the future.
        However, plenty of empty nodes degrades performance.
        Separation of internal nodes and user data implies the need for an allocator for internal node
        so the iterable list is not fully intrusive. Nevertheless, if you need thread-safe iterator,
        the iterable list is good choice.

        The complexity of searching is <tt>O(N)</tt>.

        Template arguments:
        - \p GC - Garbage collector used.
        - \p T - type to be stored in the list.
        - \p Traits - type traits, default is \p iterable_list::traits. It is possible to declare option-based
             list with \p cds::intrusive::iterable_list::make_traits metafunction:
            For example, the following traits-based declaration of \p gc::HP iterable list
            \code
            #include <cds/intrusive/iterable_list_hp.h>
            // Declare item stored in your list
            struct foo
            {
                int nKey;
                // .... other data
            };

            // Declare comparator for the item
            struct my_compare {
                int operator()( foo const& i1, foo const& i2 ) const
                {
                    return i1.nKey - i2.nKey;
                }
            };

            // Declare traits
            struct my_traits: public cds::intrusive::iterable_list::traits
            {
                typedef my_compare compare;
            };

            // Declare list
            typedef cds::intrusive::IterableList< cds::gc::HP, foo, my_traits > list_type;
            \endcode
            is equivalent for the following option-based list
            \code
            #include <cds/intrusive/iterable_list_hp.h>

            // foo struct and my_compare are the same

            // Declare option-based list
            typedef cds::intrusive::IterableList< cds::gc::HP, foo,
                typename cds::intrusive::iterable_list::make_traits<
                    cds::intrusive::opt::compare< my_compare >     // item comparator option
                >::type
            > option_list_type;
            \endcode

        \par Usage
        There are different specializations of this template for each garbage collecting schema.
        You should select GC you want and include appropriate .h-file:
        - for \p gc::HP: <tt> <cds/intrusive/iterable_list_hp.h> </tt>
        - for \p gc::DHP: <tt> <cds/intrusive/iterable_list_dhp.h> </tt>

        /**
            The forward iterator for iterable list has some features:
            - it has no post-increment operator
            - to protect the value, the iterator contains a GC-specific guard.
              For some GC (like as \p gc::HP), a guard is a limited resource per thread, so an exception (or assertion) "no free guard"
              may be thrown if the limit of guard count per thread is exceeded.
            - The iterator cannot be moved across thread boundary since it contains thread-private GC's guard.
            - Iterator is thread-safe: even if the element the iterator points to is removed, the iterator stays valid because
              it contains the guard keeping the value from to be recycled.

            The iterator interface:
            \code
            class iterator {
            public:
                // Default constructor
                iterator();

                // Copy construtor
                iterator( iterator const& src );

                // Dereference operator
                value_type * operator ->() const;

                // Dereference operator
                value_type& operator *() const;

                // Preincrement operator
                iterator& operator ++();

                // Assignment operator
                iterator& operator = (iterator const& src);

                // Equality operators
                bool operator ==(iterator const& i ) const;
                bool operator !=(iterator const& i ) const;
            };
            \endcode

            @note For two iterators pointed to the same element the value can be different;
            this code
            \code
                if ( it1 == it2 )
                    assert( &(*it1) == &(*it2));
            \endcode
            can throw assertion. The point is that the iterator stores the value of element which can be modified later by other thread.
            The guard inside the iterator prevents recycling that value so the iterator's value remains valid even after changing.
            Other iterator may observe modified value of the element.
