Hi, ROOTers, I found strange behavior of TTreeFormula for ROOT2.00/09 under IBM/AIX and DEC-Alpha/OSF1. If I get TTree object from a ROOT file and feed into TTreeFormula, its function EvalInstance() works as expected. But if I create TTree object myself, then strange behavior came. Under interactive ROOT, I enter the sequence commands below root [0] TTree *tree = new TTree("t1","an example"); root [1] int x,y; root [2] tree->Branch("x",&x,"x"); root [3] tree->Branch("y",&y,"y"); root [4] x=19981; y=10; root [5] char *cut1 = "x>1998"; root [6] TTreeFormula *f_cut1=new TTreeFormula("cut1",cut1,t1); root [7] .p f_cut1->EvalInstance(0); (Double_t)0.000000000000e+00 // under IBM/AIX *** Break *** floating point exception // under Alpha/OSF1 if change x and y into type of float, then everything works. So, what is the difference for TTree object created by myself and read from a file ? How can different type variable make TTreeFormula::EvalInstance behaves differently ? And hints ? Thanks. --Shuwei
