Clone of TrigConfTree

ROOT
1

Hello,

I was hoping someone might be able to answer a problem I’ve been having. I’m making some selections on a physics tree in my data, and copying out a subset of that tree to my output file. My problem is that I also want to copy the trigger configuration tree “physicsMeta/TrigConfTree” to the output file… this should be straightforward of course, the snippet of my code is

<once I attach m_TrigTChain to my input files.....>  
TFile *copyFile = new TFile("SelectedEvents.root","Recreate");
TTree* newTree = m_TrigTChain->CloneTree();
copyFile->Write();

but this generates a segfault on the call to CloneTree.

I’m under the impression from your example(http://root.cern.ch/root/html/tutorials/tree/copytree.C.html) I need to call SetBranchAddress on the original tree, before calling CloneTree… I’m not clear what arguments I need to supply in this case. I tried using some dummy TObject I create there like so

TObject* tobj = new TObject();
m_TrigTChain->SetBranchAddress("object",&tobj);
m_TrigTChain->SetBranchStatus("*",1);
TTree* newTree = m_TrigTChain->CloneTree();

but this also segfaults in the same way (stacktrace below). I also tried using CloneTree(-1,“fast”), but this causes a “double free or corruption” error as my program terminates (but appears to properly save what I want in my SelectEvents.root), I am guessing for similar reasons. All I want to do is copy that entire chain, m_TrigTChain into this new file SelectedEvents.root.

Sorry for the probably trivial question, and thanks for your help.

Hi,

Were you able to resolve this issue (a priori you needed to make sure that you had loaded all the library you needed since some where already loaded).

Philippe.
