Over the past decade, various systems and software libraries have been developed that provide crash consistency on byte-addressable persistent memory. They often require programmers to adapt their code significantly or to use special compiler plugins. Constant innovation in this evolving field makes it desirable to be able to easily switch to more recent systems without massive code refactoring, and without changing compilers.

With the availability of systems that contain large amounts of byte-addressable non-volatile memory (NVRAM), there is a growing need for data structures that can be mapped into a process's address space and be used without data (de-)serialization. While NVRAM is able to retain memory contents during system failure and power loss, data consistency has to be preserved by using transactional operations for data manipulation.
