Hi,
Some time ago, I asked how to save intermediate steps during weeks-long
Minuit fits. The suggested code was simply to do something like:
TFile f("temp_minuit_intermediate_state.root","RECREATE");
gMinuit->Write();
I have a class called "func_fit" that has a minimization method.
(Because TMinuit wants a bare function, I wrote a wrapper for the member
function called "dummy_func", visible in the stack trace below.) My
class increments a counter every time the minimization method is called;
when I get zero for fmod(counter,10000), I try to write the TMinuit
object as above. Unfortunately, I get the following stack trace.
I'm confused as to the source of the problem, which occurs deep in the
Streamer methods. I'm hoping somebody knows what I'm doing wrong. If
anyone has any advice or proposals for tests, I'll be very grateful.
