Hi! Although the “feature” I encountered was in the ConfigPPR.C file of aliroot I post the message here because I guess it is a general C++ matter. Here it goes: We have the following piece of code:
if (iTOF) {
AliTOF *TOF = new AliTOFv4T0(“TOF”, “normal TOF”);
}
iTOF is set to TRUE (1). Later in the code I try to put the line:
TOF->DisableStepManager();
The system complaints that TOF is undeclared. Is this the expected behaviour? Once the TOF object is declared and instantiated should’t it be known in the function scope? If I put the above line inside the if braces there is no problem.
