TBranch::TBranch ( TTree tree,
const char *  name,
void address,
const char *  leaflist,
Int_t  basketsize = 32000,
Int_t  compress = -1 
)

Create a Branch as a child of a Tree.

  • address is the address of the first item of a structure or the address of a pointer to an object (see example in TTree.cxx).
  • leaflist is the concatenation of all the variable names and types separated by a colon character : The variable name and the variable type are separated by a slash (/). The variable type must be 1 character. (Characters after the first are legal and will be appended to the visible name of the leaf, but have no effect.) If no type is given, the type of the variable is assumed to be the same as the previous variable. If the first variable does not have a type, it is assumed of type F by default. The list of currently supported types is given below:

    • C : a character string terminated by the 0 character
    • B : an 8 bit signed integer (Char_t)
    • b : an 8 bit unsigned integer (UChar_t)
    • S : a 16 bit signed integer (Short_t)
    • s : a 16 bit unsigned integer (UShort_t)
    • I : a 32 bit signed integer (Int_t)
    • i : a 32 bit unsigned integer (UInt_t)
    • F : a 32 bit floating point (Float_t)
    • D : a 64 bit floating point (Double_t)
    • L : a 64 bit signed integer (Long64_t)
    • l : a 64 bit unsigned integer (ULong64_t)
    • O : [the letter o, not a zero] a boolean (Bool_t)

    Arrays of values are supported with the following syntax:

    • If leaf name has the form var[nelem], where nelem is alphanumeric, then if nelem is a leaf name, it is used as the variable size of the array, otherwise return 0. The leaf referred to by nelem MUST be an int (/I),
    • If leaf name has the form var[nelem], where nelem is a non-negative integers, then it is used as the fixed size of the array.
    • If leaf name has the form of a multi dimension array (e.g. var[nelem][nelem2]) where nelem and nelem2 are non-negative integers) then it is used as a 2 dimensional array of fixed size.
    • Any of other form is not supported.

Note that the TTree will assume that all the item are contiguous in memory. On some platform, this is not always true of the member of a struct or a class, due to padding and alignment. Sorting your data member in order of decreasing sizeof usually leads to their being contiguous in memory.

  • bufsize is the buffer size in bytes for this branch The default value is 32000 bytes and should be ok for most cases. You can specify a larger value (e.g. 256000) if your Tree is not split and each entry is large (Megabytes) A small value for bufsize is optimum if you intend to access the entries in the Tree randomly and your Tree is in split mode.

See an example of a Branch definition in the TTree constructor.

Note that in case the data type is an object, this branch can contain only this object.

Note that this function is invoked by TTree::Branch

◆ AddBasket()

void TBranch::AddBasket ( TBasket b,
Bool_t  ondisk,
Long64_t  startEntry 
)
virtual

Add the basket to this branch.

Warning: if the basket are not 'flushed/copied' in the same order as they were created, this will induce a slow down in the insert (since we'll need to move all the record that are entere 'too early'). Warning we also assume that the current write basket is not present (aka has been removed).

Definition at line 510 of file TBranch.cxx.

◆ AddLastBasket()

void TBranch::AddLastBasket ( Long64_t  startEntry)
virtual

Add the start entry of the write basket (not yet created)

Definition at line 576 of file TBranch.cxx.

◆ BackFill()

Int_t TBranch::BackFill ( )

Loop on all leaves of this branch to back fill Basket buffer.

Use this routine instead of TBranch::Fill when filling a branch individually to catch up with the number of entries already in the TTree.

First it calls TBranch::Fill and then if the number of entries of the branch reach one of TTree cluster's boundary, the basket is flushed.

The function returns the number of bytes committed to the memory basket. If a write error occurs, the number of bytes returned is -1. If no data are written, because e.g. the branch is disabled, the number of bytes returned is 0.

To insure that the baskets of each cluster are located close by in the file, when back-filling multiple branches make sure to call BackFill for the same entry for all the branches consecutively

for( auto e = 0; e < tree->GetEntries(); ++e ) { // loop over entries.
for( auto branch : branchCollection) {
... Make change to the data associated with the branch ...
branch->BackFill();
}
}
// Since we loop over all the branches for each new entry
// all the baskets for a cluster are consecutive in the file.

rather than doing all the entries of one branch at a time.

// Do NOT do things in the following order, it will lead to
// poorly clustered files.
for(auto branch : branchCollection) {
for( auto e = 0; e < tree->GetEntries(); ++e ) { // loop over entries.
... Make change to the data associated with the branch ...
branch->BackFill();
}
}
// Since we loop over all the entries for one branch
// all the baskets for that branch are consecutive.

◆ DeleteBaskets()

void TBranch::DeleteBaskets ( Option_t option = "")
virtual

Loop on all branch baskets.

If the file where branch buffers reside is writable, free the disk space associated to the baskets of the branch, then call Reset(). If the option contains "all", delete also the baskets for the subbranches. The branch is reset.

NOTE that this function must be used with extreme care. Deleting branch baskets fragments the file and may introduce inefficiencies when adding new entries in the Tree or later on when reading the Tree.

Definition at line 680 of file TBranch.cxx.

◆ DropBaskets()

void TBranch::DropBaskets ( Option_t options = "")
virtual

Loop on all branch baskets.

◆ FillImpl()

Int_t TBranch::FillImpl ( ROOT::Internal::TBranchIMTHelper imtHelper)
virtual

Loop on all leaves of this branch to fill Basket buffer.

If TBranchIMTHelper is non-null and it is time to WriteBasket, then we will use TBB to compress in parallel.

The function returns the number of bytes committed to the memory basket. If a write error occurs, the number of bytes returned is -1. If no data are written, because e.g. the branch is disabled, the number of bytes returned is 0.

Reimplemented in TBranchElement, TBranchObject, TBranchRef, TBranchSTL, and TBranchClones.
