Description
I had a need to calculate the number of bytes of memory used for a given bitmap, so I created a set of functions that will do this, and plumbed them through both the C and C++ interfaces.
Is there any interest in having something like this in the codebase?
/**
* Return the number of bytes of memory used by the bitmap.
*/
size_t roaring_bitmap_memory_size_in_bytes(const roaring_bitmap_t *r);

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the C entry point roaring_bitmap_memory_size_in_bytes and the corresponding C++ interface, then inspect how bitmap memory is represented; done would mean agreeing on the API scope and validating the reported byte count for both interfaces.
