The only way for any data structures to actually be O(1) on a virtual memory machine is for them to have bounded size.

(to which the nit-picky reply is that luckily, everything that can possibly be addressed by a machine with finite memory is bounded size.)

Replying to

"it's not O(1), it's O(sqrt(N)/c), where c is the speed of light"

Replying to

or in a more permissible and less physical universe, still log(input size) since that's the number of input steps
