[interfacekit] Implementation help


Ok-- I have all of BList written except for the BList = operator.

Unlike BList(BList &), the = operator generates independent sets of
data.  My quandary is that I don't know how to access sizeof() a void *
structure -- or, actually, figure out how much memory was allocated at a
given position.  It's probably some standard C function, but I don't know
it, and I can't find it my C reference.

Secondly --

If anyone has any idea how to clean up rectangles in an efficient manner,
pleas help.  I'm trying to generate a cleanup protocol for BRegion that is
not inelegant.  My mathematician friend and I have been racking our brains
over this problem for a week, to no avail.  Be's solution involved a
gazillion (undocumented) friend function calls.

As much as I despise object-amication, I've decided that that's the way to
go, but a satisfactory algorithm is still hard to decide.  In particular,
it must be able to collapse

This sort of a rectangle into a single one, and other pathological
doohickies.

Finally--

Can someone point me to an *easy*, and complete CVS reference?  I'd like
to submit my code.  (BPolygon, BList, BReigon)

Thanks
