Hi ROOT'ers (I guess in particular René Brun, Fons Rademarkers, and Valeri Fine), There seems to be a bug in star/inc/TTable.h and star/src/TTable.cxx. When I try to compile this class on Digital Unix (OSF1 V4.0 alpha) with GCC 2.91.66 (EGCS 1.1.2), it complains about the lines 1181 and 1183 in star/src/TTable.cxx. I've tracked it down to the fact that in a switch expression, the following two (redundant) case statements appears: case kLong4Bytes: case kDouble8Bytes: where the definitions of kLong4Bytes and kDouble8Bytes in star/inc/TTable.h is: kLong4Bytes = sizeof(Long_t) kDouble8Bytes = sizeof(Double_t) which both evaluates to 8 on Digital Unix on a Alpha chip. For the record: kLong4Bytes is 4, and kDouble8Bytes is 8 on Linux (Redhat 6.1). This strikes me as somewhat odd, since I thought the idea of Long_t was to have a OS independt size for long's (i.e., either 4 or 8 bytes). Thought you'd like to know.
