Let me make sure I understand all the issues involved to make iterators stable while structures are changed. I think I need to do at least the following: 1. Make next() an atomic operation for an iterator, so that the structure is assumed not to change during a next(). 2. Ensure that an iterator knows when the position to which it refers becomes invalid. In addition it would be useful to be able to use locks to ensure that structures are not changing. Is that sufficient? Jonathan jonathan@texcel.no Texcel Research http://www.texcel.no
