Generate dictionary for list of custom classes

Hello ROOTers,

I have the following simple classes:

[code]#include
#include
#include “TString.h”

class Datafile {
public:
TString filename;
TString author;
};

typedef std::list DatafileList;
typedef std::map<Int_t, DatafileList> Dataset;
[/code]

I’m trying to generate CINT dictionaries for them, but I can’t get DatafileList to work:

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Hi Davide,

The default for ACLiC (which you invoke viaroot [0] .L DatasetLibrary.C+) is to generate the dictionary for all symbols declared in the file and its header file (as in an include file that as the same name but an ‘header’ file extension).

/home/dmancusi/.rootmacros/AutoDict_DatafileList_cxx_ACLiC_dict.cxx:643:107: instantiated from here /usr/include/c++/4.6/bits/list.tcc:249:4: error: no match for ‘operator==’ in ‘__first.std::_List_iterator<_Tp>::operator* [with _Tp = Datafile, std::_List_iterator<_Tp>::reference = Datafile&]() == __value’ For full support of the std::list functionality you need to implement operator== for your class.

Cheers,
Philippe.

Philippe,

Thanks for the help. I actually had to define both operator== and operator<. Unfortunately, ROOT now crashes with the following message:

Hi,

Add #ifdef __MAKECINT__ #pragma link C++ class list<Datafile>::iterator-; #endif // __MAKECINT__to you header file.

Cheers,
Philippe.

Hi Philippe,

I put the lines you suggested in my header, AFTER the Datafile and DatafileList declaration. That makes these types work, but not the Dataset type (the typedef’d map). I had to add the following #pragma directive to the header:

Shouldn’t these directives be automatically generated?

Thanks for the help!
Davide

Hi Davide,

[quote}Shouldn’t these directives be automatically generated?[/quote]Not necessarily. Since the std::map is not explicitly defined/declared in the header, whether or not the dictionary is generated depend on some idiosyncrasy of how CINT instantiate templates.

Cheers,
Philippe.
