Run combinedFit.C tutorial using ROOT 6.20.02 on Windows 10

[steven_sani]

Hi,

I tried to run combinedFit.C tutorial (ROOT: tutorials/fit/combinedFit.C File Reference) using ROOT 6.20.02 on Windows 10 by the command

.x combinedFit.C+

however, I got the message

Info in TWinNTSystem::ACLiC: creating shared library C:/root_v6.20.02/macros/combinedFit_C.dll
input_line_12:8:25: error: use of undeclared identifier ‘Ic’
“c:/root_v6.20.02/etc” -Ic:/root_v6.20.02/etc//cling -Ic:/root_v6.20.02/include"",
^
Error in : Dictionary generation failed!

I can run it by using simply the command

.x combinedFit.C()

but when I try to run it again without closing the ROOT, I got

Assertion failed: Val && “isa<> used on a null pointer”, file C:\build\ws\BUILDTYPE\Debug\LABEL\windows10\V\6-20\root\interpreter\llvm\src\include\llvm/Support/Casting.h, line 106

and then the ROOT closes. Is it possible to get rid of this problem and not to reopen ROOT when I run this code multiple times?

Unloading is a known issue (unless @Axel tells it should work), and there is not much we can do about it for the time being… And I’l see what I can do for the ACLiC issue. For now, you most probably have to exit ROOT and start again to re-run your macro. (we’re still working actively to fix the remaining issues on Windows)
