Nick,
I could read the uuencoded version and cause of the problem is clear.
There are 2 kinds of ROOT macro.
//Type 1 : C++ source style --------------------
#include <math.h>
void macro() {
// something
}
//Type 2 : ROOT special macro format -----------
{ // The first valid language constract must be '{'
// someting
}
Note that Type1 macro is in the form of C++ syntax. You can write regular
C++ syntax like #include. On the other hand, Type2 macro is ROOT special
format. This is not C++ syntax in precise sense. You can not put #include
before '{'. CINT distinguishes type1 and 2 by the first valid letter in
the file. If it is '{' CINT takes it as type2 macro, otherwise CINT reads
the file as regular C++ source.
What happens in your case is that , because there is '#include' statement
at the beginning , the file is considered as regular C++ source. And in
regular C++, enclosing statements in '{' '}' does not make sense.
