[cosmic-users] idl_to_picml problem

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi Abdul,

Finally got around to looking at this, just checked in
a fix. In a nutshell, at some point I deferred the setting
of the AttributeMember's "referred" GME attribute, in
order to catch the case where the type of an IDL
attribute is modified. I must have then forgot to go back
and test and case where the IDL attribute is added (your
case) or I would have found that the diagnostic output
for the case of adding an IDL attribute was now making
a call on a null pointer ;-). 

At any rate, we should now get the correct diagnostic in
either case, and with no abort ;-).

The details are in the ChangeLog entry, for anyone who's
interested. Sorry it took so long to get to this.

Jeff
