Re: Problem with rootcint when generating dictionary file for function returning Double_t const* const*

Hi Pierre-Luc,

CINT has (currently) a hard time to represent constness 'inside' a pointer chain.
To work around the problem use:

#ifdef __CINT__

   Double_t ** MyFunction() const;
#else

   Double_t const* const* MyFunction() const; #endif

Cheers,
Philippe.
