Problem in re-loading macro


ROOT Version: 6.12/06
Platform: linux
Compiler: Not Provided

Hello,

I have a problem reloading macro after editing it. To simplify the problem, here is a very simple macro:

File: test1.C:

void test1(TH1* h1){
}

I run root with my file with histograms like this:

root my_file_with_histograms.root

root [1] .L root/test1.C
root [2] test1(my_histogram)   //my_histogram is the existing histogram in my_file_with_histograms.root

Up to now, everything works fine. But if I try now to unload the macro (or upload the new version of it) I get the segmentation violation:

root [3] .U root/test1.C

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

Please let me know what I need to do to avoid this crash.
Thank you in advance.

Cling does not yet support (properly) unloading (and thus reloading) a macro. Unfortunately, for now, the work-around is to quit the session and restart.

Cheers,
Philippe.
