Hello,
I am a first time user of Root, using at cern ROOT 3.10/02 (cms lcg installation). I was given a small root file with a tree (called tracks) to use, and have tried to get a Class with
tracks->MakeClass(“TestOne”)
The first problem is that in the generated TestOne.h file, several instances of TBranch have the same name, lthough obviously in the TTree, the branches have different names:
line 321: TBranch *b_Chi2; //!
line 332: TBranch *b_Chi2; //!
line 367: TBranch *b_Chi2; //!
line 402: TBranch *b_Chi2; //!
These refer to the following branches, as cen be seen later in that file:
b_Chi2 = fChain->GetBranch(“kfIpHitChi2_”);
b_Chi2 = fChain->GetBranch(“kfTipHitChi2_”);
b_Chi2 = fChain->GetBranch(“gsfIpHitChi2_”);
b_Chi2 = fChain->GetBranch(“gsfTipHitChi2_”);
The obvious problem is that when I try to compile that code (with .L TestOne.C+), I get the error:
/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:332: declaration of TBranch*TestOne::b_Chi2' /localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:321: conflicts with previous declarationTBranchTestOne::b_Chi2’
/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:367: declaration of
TBranch*TestOne::b_Chi2' /localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:321: conflicts with previous declarationTBranchTestOne::b_Chi2’
/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:402: declaration of TBranch*TestOne::b_Chi2' /localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:321: conflicts with previous declarationTBranch*TestOne::b_Chi2’
/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:332: duplicate member TestOne::b_Chi2' /localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:367: duplicate memberTestOne::b_Chi2’
/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/TestOne.h:402: duplicate member `TestOne::b_Chi2’
and the compilation fails.
Has this problem been seen before, and what can I do about it?
An example root file, with the TestOne.C and .h can be found in /afs/cern.ch/user/s/speer/public/root
I then try to change manually the names of the TBranches to be unique:
TBranch *b_kfIpHitChi2_; //!
TBranch *b_kfTipHitChi2_; //!
TBranch *b_gsfIpHitChi2_; //!
TBranch *b_gsfTipHitChi2_; //!
with the corresponding changes to the fChain->GetBranch part:
b_kfIpHitChi2_ = fChain->GetBranch(“kfIpHitChi2_”);
(etc…)
This class is now called TestTwo
When compiling this class, I get a fatal error:
Fatal: sizeof(::TestTwo) == sizeof(ROOT::Shadow::TestTwo) violated at line 438 of `/localscratch/s/speer/rootex/fileCvV3AG.cxx’
and root crashes (with a coredump).
The complete log of that compilation and dump is below.
TestTwo, with the file generated during the compilation (fileCvV3AG.h, etc) are also in /afs/cern.ch/user/s/speer/public/root
Would you know what the problem here is ? (although this may belong to the CINT forum 
Thanks for your help,
Thomas.
