Problem reading vector<float> from TLeaf

ROOT
1

Hi,

I have TTree with several branches filled with vector
I am trying to loop over the branches and read the values.
The code is quite complex and part of a MakeClass skeleton

a summary of the Loop

 for (Long64_t jentry=0; jentry<nentries;jentry++) {
      Long64_t ientry = LoadTree(jentry);
      if (ientry < 0) break;
      nb = fChain->GetEntry(jentry);   nbytes += nb;

TObjArray *branches = fChain->GetListOfBranches();

  TObjArrayIter next(branches);
  TObject* br;

  while ( ( br = next() ) ) {

    TString varName =  br->GetName();
    if(  !varName.Contains("mini_jet")  ) continue;
       TBranch* myBr = (TBranch*) br;
   TLeaf* leaf =    (TLeaf*)myBr->GetListOfLeaves()->First(); 

    if( (TString)leaf->GetTypeName() == "vector<float>" ){
        leaf->PrintValue();
        vector<float> *v = (vector<float> *)leaf->GetValuePointer();
        cout << v << " " << &v << endl;

        }

}

the problem is that I can’t really get the pointer with GetValuePointer().
v is always 0 while the leaf->PrintValue() produces something like:

but I cannot get that very memory reference with GetValuePointer().
Any idea?

I have seen on other topics that the preferred solution would be to use (and it works):

 vector<Float_t> *v = 0;
        fChain->SetBranchAddress( br->GetName() ,&v  );
        fChain->GetEntry(jentry);

but I really would like to do this after I have already called: fChain->GetEntry(jentry);

cheers,
delo
