[cosmic-users] Error importing xme file created by tao_picml

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi Prakash,

I've just checked in a fix for the problem you reported.

The modified files are

$COSMIC_ROOT/PIM/PICML/interpreters/IDLGenerator/IDLEmitVisitor.{h,cpp}

and you probably already know how to access these file from CVS
(instructions are on the CoSMIC web page). Thanks for reporting
the problem.

Jeff
