RE: exclude a file from dictionary generation

You can use CPP flag

#ifndef __CINT__

in to your class header file to hide that from the CINT dictionary generation.

The compromise solution is to apply #ifndef __CINT__ for the trouble portions of your class only. As result, your class will be present in the dictionary. Your trouble methods and data-members will not.

Hope this helps.
