Body
Given I have a type specifier as returned by method_copyReturnType(). In the GNU runtime delivered with the GCC there are various methods to work with such a type specifier like <code>objc_sizeof_type()</code>, <code>objc_alignof_type()</code> and others. When using the Apple runtime there are no such methods. How can I interpret a type specifier string (e.g. get the size of a type) using the Apple runtime without implementing an if/else or case switch for myself? [update] I am not able to use the Apple Foundation.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
