I’ve noticed two different cases in which pyroot incorrectly identifies static arrays that have been defined in header files.
The first involves bool arrays. I seem to remember there were severe issues with these at one point, but now they work fine in 1D. However, a 2+ dimensional array still looks bugged - a proper python buffer is returned, but it has the wrong length - it gets the size of the first dimension only.
The second involves arrays of enum types. In this case, the variable in python just becomes a long, filled with the address of the first element in the array.
The header file I wrote to demonstrate this is here:
#ifndef MYFILE
#define MYFILE
namespace testing{
typedef enum mytype { kType1, kType2 } mytype_t;
static const mytype enumarray[2] = {kType1, kType2}; // gives pointer to first element, as long
static const bool boolarray[2][3] = {}; // gives: <read-write buffer ptr 0x7f8944937b80, size 2 at 0x7f89513a6f30>
}
#endifThe LinkDef I used was:
[code]#ifdef CINT
#pragma link off all globals;
#pragma link off all classes;
#pragma link off all functions;
#pragma link C++ namespace testing;
#pragma link C++ enum testing::mytype_t;
#endif[/code]
