This happens for VC++9.0 version of root. Following the following steps, the file being edited disappears unexpectedly.

  1. open the first console (cygwin), and edit any simple code in it, e.g.

   void oo()
   {

       cout<<"hello"<<endl;
   }

2. open the second console, start ROOT and run the macro, e.g.

    .x oo.C

3. Don't quit ROOT after running the command.

4. go to the first console and make some changes on oo.C and save it.

6. go to the second console, and type ".q" to quit ROOT.

7. check the oo.C now in the directory and it disappeared. Note that the same problem won't happen with the following code, i.e. w/o "void oo()"

    {

       cout<<"hello"<<endl;
    }
