RE: reloading files

Hi Roger,

Instead of forcing the full reload of everything (gROOT->Reset() and the fact that you might be including the other macro within the Gui.C), you should just try to do it by smaller chunk:

root [] .L fitFunction.C
root [] .L MySpectrum.C
root [] .L WriteParams.C
root [] .L ReadParams.C
root [] .L Gui.C

...

root [] .L Gui.C

Also you may want to compiler your gui code (.L Gui.C+).

If none of those helps, please provide me with a complete example with which I can reproduce your problem.

Cheers,
Philippe.

Subject: [ROOT] reloading files

Hello,

I have a file tmp.C that loads another file Gui.C via:

gROOT->Reset();
gROOT->ProcessLine(".L Gui.C"); // Setup gui

When I begin a fresh root session the commands:

root [0] .x tmp.C
.x tmp.C

root [1] gui();
gui();

do as expected - the gui opens and responds to the (only!) button it contains, which closes it.

If I then do:

root [2] .x tmp.C
.x tmp.C

followed by:

root [3] gui();
gui();

I see:

Error in <TQObject::CheckConnectArgs>: slot MainFrame::DoOK() does not exist

and the exit button (which worked perfectly first time) does nothing and will not then function correctly until I stop and restart root.

This behaviour makes the edit - test cycle very tedious, because I must stop and restart root after every minor edit if I am to see cleanly the effects of the changes I made.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give.
