Hi Take-Aki,
In your class Event, you have a data member "device".
When you write the TTree, you probably call Event::ReadDeviceRecord.
This function creates a new Device object "Device *device = new
Device();
You add this object in a TObjArray. After the statement
deviceArray->Add(device);
you should reset device
device = 0;
or you should declare this member to be non-persistent
Device *device; //! where ! means non-persistent in the header file.
With your current implementation, what happens is the following:
When writing the Tree, device points to an active object. This object is
Streamed. There is also a reference in the TObjArray. Root will save the
object
only once.
When reading, the object is allocated to device and you never delete
this object.
To detect this kind of memory leak, you can add the statement
gObjectTable->Print();
for example at the end of your Event destructor. (#include
"TObjectTable.h")
To get the correct statistics, you must activate the memory stats in
your .rootrc file. example
# Activate memory statistics (size and cnt is used to trap allocation of
# blocks of a certain size after cnt times)
Root.MemStat: 1
Root.ObjectStat: 1
Let me know.
