[Swig-devel] XML Template Typenames

[Ahmed Usman]

Hello,
I am trying to use the XML output generated by SWIG. The template xml element contains an attribute called 'templateparms' however the value is an address and doesn't tell us the information we want about the typenames, instead it just gives an address. Is this a bug? Or, is there another place that contains the correct information about the typenames? The debug-csymbols output displays the right information which means the typenames are being captured correctly but not being returned in the XML correctly. I've been looking through the source code for where this typename info is written, but I haven't found anything. Does anyone know where I can access the typename info? I am open to adding support, to make the XML display the correct information.

Thank You,
Ahmed Usman

I found a fix for this. By adding a few lines in Modules/xml.c I was able to have the typename information output to the xml file. Can someone point me to where I can submit this change?
