template<typename NodePtrCompare> 
  static node_ptr 
  insert_equal(const node_ptr & header, const node_ptr & hint, 
               const node_ptr & new_node, NodePtrCompare comp);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. NodePtrCompare is a function object that induces a strict weak ordering compatible with the strict weak ordering used to create the the tree. NodePtrCompare compares two node_ptrs. "hint" is node from the "header"'s tree.

Effects: Inserts new_node into the tree, using "hint" as a hint to where it will be inserted. If "hint" is the upper_bound the insertion takes constant time (two comparisons in the worst case).

Complexity: Logarithmic in general, but it is amortized constant time if new_node is inserted immediately before "hint".

Throws: If "comp" throws.

static node_ptr 
insert_before(const node_ptr & header, const node_ptr & pos, 
              const node_ptr & new_node);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. "pos" must be a valid iterator or header (end) node. "pos" must be an iterator pointing to the successor to "new_node" once inserted according to the order of already inserted nodes. This function does not check "pos" and this precondition must be guaranteed by the caller.

Effects: Inserts new_node into the tree before "pos".

Complexity: Constant-time.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: If "pos" is not the successor of the newly inserted "new_node" tree invariants might be broken.

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. "new_node" must be, according to the used ordering no less than the greatest inserted key.

Effects: Inserts new_node into the tree before "pos".

Complexity: Constant-time.

Throws: Nothing.

Note: If "new_node" is less than the greatest inserted key tree invariants are broken. This function is slightly faster than using "insert_before".

static void push_front(const node_ptr & header, const node_ptr & new_node);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. "new_node" must be, according to the used ordering, no greater than the lowest inserted key.

template<typename KeyType, typename KeyNodePtrCompare> 
  static std::pair< node_ptr, bool > 
  insert_unique_check(const const_node_ptr & header, const KeyType & key, 
                      KeyNodePtrCompare comp, 
                      insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. KeyNodePtrCompare is a function object that induces a strict weak ordering compatible with the strict weak ordering used to create the the tree. NodePtrCompare compares KeyType with a node_ptr.

Effects: Checks if there is an equivalent node to "key" in the tree according to "comp" and obtains the needed information to realize a constant-time node insertion if there is no equivalent node.

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing a node_ptr to the already present node and false. If there is not equivalent key can be inserted returns true in the returned pair's boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function to achieve a constant-time insertion function.

Complexity: Average complexity is at most logarithmic.

Throws: If "comp" throws.

Notes: This function is used to improve performance when constructing a node is expensive and the user does not want to have two equivalent nodes in the tree: if there is an equivalent value the constructed object must be discarded. Many times, the part of the node that is used to impose the order is much cheaper to construct than the node and this function offers the possibility to use that part to check if the insertion will be successful.

If the check is successful, the user can construct the node and use "insert_commit" to insert the node in constant-time. This gives a total logarithmic complexity to the insertion: check(O(log(N)) + commit(O(1)).

"commit_data" remains valid for a subsequent "insert_unique_commit" only if no more objects are inserted or erased from the set.

template<typename KeyType, typename KeyNodePtrCompare> 
  static std::pair< node_ptr, bool > 
  insert_unique_check(const const_node_ptr & header, const node_ptr & hint, 
                      const KeyType & key, KeyNodePtrCompare comp, 
                      insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. KeyNodePtrCompare is a function object that induces a strict weak ordering compatible with the strict weak ordering used to create the the tree. NodePtrCompare compares KeyType with a node_ptr. "hint" is node from the "header"'s tree.

Effects: Checks if there is an equivalent node to "key" in the tree according to "comp" using "hint" as a hint to where it should be inserted and obtains the needed information to realize a constant-time node insertion if there is no equivalent node. If "hint" is the upper_bound the function has constant time complexity (two comparisons in the worst case).

Returns: If there is an equivalent value returns a pair containing a node_ptr to the already present node and false. If there is not equivalent key can be inserted returns true in the returned pair's boolean and fills "commit_data" that is meant to be used with the "insert_commit" function to achieve a constant-time insertion function.

Complexity: Average complexity is at most logarithmic, but it is amortized constant time if new_node should be inserted immediately before "hint".

Throws: If "comp" throws.

Notes: This function is used to improve performance when constructing a node is expensive and the user does not want to have two equivalent nodes in the tree: if there is an equivalent value the constructed object must be discarded. Many times, the part of the node that is used to impose the order is much cheaper to construct than the node and this function offers the possibility to use that part to check if the insertion will be successful.

If the check is successful, the user can construct the node and use "insert_commit" to insert the node in constant-time. This gives a total logarithmic complexity to the insertion: check(O(log(N)) + commit(O(1)).

"commit_data" remains valid for a subsequent "insert_unique_commit" only if no more objects are inserted or erased from the set.

static void insert_unique_commit(const node_ptr & header, 
                                 const node_ptr & new_value, 
                                 const insert_commit_data & commit_data);

Requires: "header" must be the header node of a tree. "commit_data" must have been obtained from a previous call to "insert_unique_check". No objects should have been inserted or erased from the set between the "insert_unique_check" that filled "commit_data" and the call to "insert_commit".

Effects: Inserts new_node in the set using the information obtained from the "commit_data" that a previous "insert_check" filled.

Complexity: Constant time.

Throws: Nothing.

Notes: This function has only sense if a "insert_unique_check" has been previously executed to fill "commit_data". No value should be inserted or erased between the "insert_check" and "insert_commit" calls.

static bool is_header(const const_node_ptr & p);

Requires: p is a node of a tree.

Effects: Returns true if p is the header of the tree.

Complexity: Constant.

Throws: Nothing.
