[MOAB-dev] Tag Heaers not installed?

[Anthony Scopatz]

Hello All,

The problem is that right now Tag is forward declared as either

typedef TagInfo* Tag; // or
typedef struct TagInfo* Tag;

However, the Core::tag_get_handle() member function takes a Tag& as one of
its output arguments.  To handle this - even in an opaque way - we need to
know the sizeof(TagInfo) so that we can malloc() enough space for it.

If there is another way to get the size of TagInfo or to get a pointer to a
new TagInfo instance through the public interface, please let us know!
Including this header file, though, also lets us have a more direct
interface to Tags themselves, which I argue is more pythonic.

Be Well
Anthony
