Hi guys,
I spent a couple of days trying to figure out why my server side script
doesn't work.
{
TStock Stock = gDataManager->GetStock("SUNW_US");
}
has a typo, it should be TStock *Stock ...because gDataManager->....
returns a POINTER to a stock object.
It works fine in CINT producing no warnings/errors but what it actually
does is horrible:
- it creates new Stock object
- it calls copy constructor to copy SUNW_US stock to this object, so
that this new SUNW_US object gets registered in the datamanager and old
object gets lost
- after macro execution it deletes Stock object, removing its reference
from datamanager
Well, you should not read or understand all those details about R-Quant
stuff but I just wanted to demonstrate how CINT C++ extension leads to a
chain of catastrophic events....
Is it good in general to have such possibility?
Cheers,
Anton
