Failed to ".L testClass.C" freshly produced from "MakeClass"

[jasonyctam]

Hi,

Sorry for potentially asking a super stupid question as I am a newbie in ROOT.

I am trying to produce some plots of variables with cuts from a .root file (eg: muon_pt for all muon_pt > 20GeV etc...)

so I have written and ran the following:

{
gROOT->Reset();
TChain * chain = new TChain("","");
chain->Add("ROOTFile.root/physics");
chain->MakeClass("testClass");
}

then testClass.C and testClass.h were produced. I then added the line

#include "l.C"

where l.C has the content

// File loader.C
#include <vector>
#ifdef __MAKECINT__
#pragma link C++ class vector<double>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<float>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<int>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<TVector3>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<double> >+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<float> >+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<int > >+;
#endif

#ifdef __CINT__
#pragma link C++ class vector<double>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<int>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<TVector3>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<double> >+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<int > >+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<float>+;
#pragma link C++ class vector<vector<float> >+;
#endif

which helped to resolve some problems from some interestingly declared variables in the generated header file.

I then executed .L testClass.C and got the following:

In file included from /tmp/rootcint_A7iPcu.h:3,

and I have checked that TVector3.h is where it is suppose to be. I am suspecting the root application that I have installed is not complete, as this happened on 3 different machines (Linux Mint, Ubuntu and SL5), all with root installed from 5.28 complete source tree for all systems.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Jason

Hi Jason,

I can reproduce the issue, I am debugging... I'll let you know when it's fixed.

Axel.

Hi,

fixed in the trunk and in v5-28-00-patches - thanks for your report!

Cheers, Axel.
