Re: palette allocation during mouse rotation

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

I have a bit of free time to wrap up the patch to stop the constant palette refresh with X11 mouse activity.  Just one detail and I wanted to get developers opinions.

As part of a palette comparison a copy of the previous palette is stored.  Part of that is copying a udft_entry.  Right now it is only a partial copy of udft_entry as the color routines don't use all parts of the udft_entry in the test.

I'm just wondering which of these alternatives are preferred:

1) Leave this code inside getcolor.c as an incomplete copy and call the routines:

  udft_partial_cpy()
  udft_partial_del()

2) Make the routines a complete copy and delete keeping track of details for temp_at, perm_at, free_at and move them to somewhere like eval.h/eval.c so that they might find some future use somewhere else.

Basically, do you want a

udft_cpy()
udft_del()

?
