    CoSMIC VERSION:

0.8.4

    HOST MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:

Windows 7 64-bit

    TOOL/AREA/CLASS/EXAMPLE AFFECTED:

PICML IDL Generator

    DOES THE PROBLEM AFFECT:

        COMPILATION?

        LINKING?

        EXECUTION?

        OTHER (please specify)? IDL file generation

    SYNOPSIS:

The IDL file generated via the GME tool in the PICML paradigm produces a
struct with elements missing. 

    DESCRIPTION:

Modifying the source aggregate in the InterfaceDefinitions folder changes
which elements are produced but it seems to choose these in a random manner.

    REPEAT BY:

Modified the aggregate (added, deleted, renamed) and observed the
corresponding elements in the struct in the IDL file. Seemingly random
behaviour and always some missing.

    SAMPLE FIX/WORKAROUND:

None found.

    RELATED FILES:

.xme file and dataTypes.idl showing multiple examples of a truncated struct.
