Re: [Xenocide-programming] xnet db loader

[Chris P. <chr...@ju...>]

Hi Red Knight,

The skip list I sent isn't a finalized version.  Give me some time
to finish it and put it through some thorough testing, before integrating
it.
If you look through the source, you'll notice that the existing code 
functions like a B-Tree, but there isn't any code in it to take advantage
of the list functionality (except the destructor, if I remember
correctly).  
This is the easy part though, so it shouldn't take too long.  Once I
finish
that it will need to be thoroughly tested to be trustworthy. :)

Yeah I've been victim of the propagating struct memory leaks before,
so I can understand why you want to avoid that.  It's a big reason why
I prefer using C++ over C.  One way to avoid it is to actually define 
the structs inside the class and make them private.  I can change the 
code to this.  Now that I think of it, it's probably the best way to do
it.

Regards,
chrisp
