application

Hello people,

Little question. I am writing an application that is using the ROOT library. I still want to run my library making instances of my objects from CINT and steering the run from there. At some point I need to get a handle on a TApplication object. Since I am not providing the 'main' call of my application because I am running with CINT, that object should already exist, right ? I see that ROOT has already instantiated and object of the class TApplication and I can get a pointer to it through the global gApplication pointer or through gROOT->GetApplication(). I do so, and I get a valid pointer, but when doing this, my program crashes.

I couldn't do much with gdb to find out what was going on. But if instead I try to build a new instance of TApplication myself, the constructor of TApplication tells me "only one instance of TApplication allowed", but still delivers me a new object and this one let me work without crash. I am surely miss-understanding something here. Any ideas ?

thanks,
