Maybe duplication of code? bits() vs bitsize() about ida-minsc

Got it. I'll consider renaming it to pointer_size in that case. In the next release the config namespace will actually end up being renamed to information as it doesn't actually have a real purpose. Moreso, it's really just returning information that the disassembler explicitly stores for a database. Things like the author name, original filename, etc. Crap like that anyways.

Yes. One of them is returning the size of a pointer type for the database (which uses the compiler and its type library), and the other is returning the number of bits used by the database itself. Your disassembler uses this to distinguish the length of an address and internally it represents which version if idaapi.BADADDR gets used by the disassembler api.

Closing. Hopefully this answered your question. If it hasn't, let me know and I can re-open it if necessary.

Aha, then I get it. The names threw me off. May I suggest to change the name of database.config.bitsize --> database.config.ptrsize (and I would also remove the database.config.size function and merge it into ptrsize since the name .size on the config is confusing.)
