Interpreted classes cannot derive from compiled classes
with the current versions of ROOT and CINT. Interpreted classes
can call compiled classes.
We know that this is a very important limitation of the interpreter.
However, the implementation of this feature requested by many users
is non-trivial. The virtual table of the interpreted class
must be patched with the VTBL of the compiled class.
The native compiler may have to call a function of your
interpreted class ! Implementing this feature is highly compiler
dependent (Masa, may be you can comment this point).
We recommend creating/compiling your own classes via the standard
compiler (see examples of makefile in ROOTSYS/test/Makefile).
This makefile shows how to make your own classes callable from
the interpreter.
