Hi.
I have now spent several hours trying to retrieve the vertices
and tetrahedra indices from a tetra mesh generated using the 
mesh_polyhedral_domain.cpp example. With no success, though...

Following the code, I expected the tetra vertices and indices
to be contained in the 
typedef CGAL::Mesh_complex_3_in_triangulation_3<Tr> C3t3;
that will finally be written to the .mesh file.
Unfortunately, iterating over the Complex_Vertex_Iterator 
(typedef
CGAL::Mesh_complex_3_in_triangulation_3<Tr>::Vertices_in_complex_iterator 
Complex_Vertex_Iterator; )
does not output any vertices ( c3t3.number_of_vertices_in_complex()
returns 0 ), additionally there are no cells available. Not even the 
field or a cell iterator is present.

        std::cout<<"Complex Vertices :
"<<c3t3.number_of_vertices_in_complex()<<std::endl;
        for (Complex_Vertex_Iterator it = c3t3.vertices_in_complex_begin();
it != c3t3.vertices_in_complex_end(); ++it)
        {
                std::cout<<"Complex Vertex #"<<i<<" : 
"<<it->point()<<std::endl;
                ++i;
        }

Can anyone give me some hints on how access the vertices and
tetra indices, as I am planning to use those in my own
data structures.

(Slightly off-topic:)
I am also wondering about the huge binary size of the 
resulting executable (10 MB for release version, 90 MB
for Debug...). Have I missed a compiler/linker switch 
for gcc/g++? Or is this normal for applications linking to CGAL?
(Current development system is Ubuntu 12.04, 32 bit,
using the packages from Ubuntu repositories).

Best regards.
