5.26.00e_python2.6: TBuffer errors and RFIO

ROOT
1

Hi,

I am trying to read a TTree from a file which is on CASTOR. This file can be read if the file is copied to the local disk and then read, but not directly read from CASTOR. The ROOT setup used on lxplus is:

When ROOT reads the file from CASTOR it reports

There are many CheckByteCount errors all referring to vector<vector >. Is there a work around?

Thanks and best regards,

Will

Hi,

You probably need to create, load and generate a dictionary for vector<vector >.
See root.cern.ch/drupal/faq#n676

Cheers,
Philippe.

Hi Philippe,

The fix was much simpler,

 // Force the loading of the ROOT vector<vector<float> > dictionary
 // This needed to get around a bug,
 //  https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/checkbytecount-issue/10997/1
 gROOT->ProcessLine("#include <vector>");

was included before reading from the TTree.

Regards,

Will

If you meet such problem again:

  1. for “std::vector<std::vector >” see [url]Storing 2D vector [--> vector<vector<...> >] into a TTree
  2. for “std::vector<std::vectorstd::string >” see [url]Problem in getting the vector < vector <string> > branch
