Hi everybody, Among other things, I'm using ROOT for teaching, doing some simple simulation projects with students. It works quite well, except for syntax checking, that is not the primary goal of cint, as Masa stated a few months ago. I agree with this, but I wonder if it would be difficult to implement a syntax checker, perhaps the one in gcc, before launching a macro. Do such things exist ? Just as an example, a few students (they just begin C programming) sometimes put colons instead of semicolons in a "for" statement. for(i=0,i<10,i++) instead of for(i=0;i<10;i++) This crashes their ROOT 2.20 (have to upgrade, I know) session, even once quit ROOT without explanation. I don't know if the rewinding scheme implemented by masa solves this. I would still like some sort of syntax checking before actually launching the macro. Through g++ ? Any comments ?
