Hi, When filling a branch with an empty string, eg by: -------------------------------------- // test for root branch string adding void fill_branch() { TFile *f = new TFile("test.root"); TTree *t = new TTree("test","test for adding empty strings"); char s[] = ""; t -> Branch("x",&s,"test/C"); t -> Fill(); t -> Scan(); // error if s empty f -> Close(); } -------------------------------------- the Scan() method fails by reporting segementation violation: ------------------------------------ TKey Reading 81 bytes at address 553 ************************ * Row * test * ************************ *** Break *** segmentation violation Root > Function fill_branch() busy flag cleared ------------------------------------ This happens when only when the this is called in a function or (much more obscure) when running the program in a shared library. It does not happen if the string s contains any text. Using ROOT version 3.01/06 on suse LinuX. Any reasons/solutions? sincerly eckart
