Is anyone aware of a birds-eye catalog of common code abstractions?

e.g. linked list, hashes, lookup table, classes, counters, iterators, etc

(Not referring to books such as TAOCP which cover a few topics in-depth)

By code abstractions, do you mean low level data structures[1]? There are those but they're different from mid level design patterns[2][3] or high level architectural patterns[4].

Sounds like you want https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms maybe?

Well, I can probably mine 10 tops books and come up with a good list of 100 abstractions. But i am sure someone has done a much better job than me on this..
