Hello David,
This is a fair suggestion. I will make this change to the original
Thank you

Hi all,
Could I suggest a change to a rootcint error message? If you run the
following header through rootcint
// File: myClass.h
#include <nonexistent.h>
class A {};
// EOF
with the command, "rootcint -f myClass.C myClass.h", you'll get an error
message that reads:
Error: source file "nonexistent.h" cannot open FILE:myClass.h LINE:3
This is confusing - the message makes it sound like rootcint failed to
open the file "myClass.h" while otherwise successfully processing the
file "nonexistent.h". I haven't actually tried the following patch, but
barring any silly mistakes on my part, it just swaps subject and object
to be clearer about the actual source of the problem.
