Hi everyone,
I have a copy of some old data on my laptop in the form of a macro (.C) file created from a TCanvas from Root 5.34. It consists of a 2048x2048 2D histogram, and is about 67000 lines long full of “SetBinContent” lines. This macro will not run, currently. It sits and hangs at “Processing yyy.C…”. Even a test cout line at the beginning of the macro does not get processed.
I have other macros produced from TCanvas from this era that still run, but are in general much shorter. I grabbed a subsection of the troublesome macro and it ran fine. Is there a length limit to macros in Root6?
I can get to this data another way, but was wondering if I can still use this macro? I’m on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and am running Root 6.11/02. I used to store figures for papers in this manner and found it very convenient.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this solution is listed somewhere. I did some searching but could not locate an answer.
