New Problem with latest version of ROOT

ROOT

Hello,

I just rebuilt root from git as of today.
I am getting new errors from rootcint having changed nothing in my code. :open_mouth: [-X

Thanks !  :slight_smile:

Hi,

looks like before you didn’t define Debug on the rootcint command line. TTree::Debug has been there since 2001 and it would have clashed before.

I am telling you that this is a NEW problem. It never crashed before.
If you look carefully it is a bug in ROOT!

Hi,

I didn’t check the behavior of rootcint for this case (which rootcint btw?, the one from 5-34-00-patches or from master?), but what you do only worked because rootcint might not have parsed the define from the command line.

You set -DDebug which defines Debug 1 on the preprocessor level. A preprocessor would then dutifully replace all mentions of Debug in source files with 1, so that e.g. TTree::Debug() becomes TTree::1. This might have accidentally worked with some version of rootcint, but when rootcint starts to correctly parse your define I wouldn’t call that a bug (but rather the fact that it ignored them before). Maybe you need to rethink the way you build your code.

Ah. I see. Thank you for your replies!

I am having other runtime problems which I will post in a new thread.
