There's probably a good reason on page 1 of the introduction that tells me
this is wrong :
---------------------------------------------------
const size_t BIG = 1000;
void sqark()
{
printf("Finding the squashing function\n");
gROOT->Reset();
c1 = new TCanvas("c1","Canvas squash",200,10,600,480);
TPad pad1("Large view","pad1",0.05,0.52,0.95,0.97);
TPad pad2("Small view","pad2",0.05,0.02,0.95,0.47);
pad1.Draw();
pad2.Draw();
char buffer[BIG];
}
---------------------------------------------------
but I don't see it. It is in a file sqark.C. The error message is:
#### error message #######
Non-static-const variable in array dimention FILE:D:\ROOT\macros\sqark.C
LINE:20
(cint allows this only in interactive command and special form macro which
is special extension. It is not allowed in source code.
#### end of errormessage ######
OK. Changing the definition to static const size_t BIG doesn't help though.
And if I have to use
a special extension, I'd like to know which one. I have gone through the
most basic CINT documentation but could not find an obvious hint to this
problem.
I could change this style of coding easily, but later on I have to use a
float(*func) (float)
in 3rd party software. I can only pass a parameter to this function via
global data, this is
also giving me trouble. Are there general guidelines for declaring global
variables or arrays
in macro's ?
