Segmentation error when I try to draw a histogram

I get a segmentation error when I run the code below. My aim is to draw a histogram that is under a root file.

void histo2()
{
TFile *f1 = TFile::Open("file05.root", "READ");
TH1F* h1 = (TH1F*)f1->Get("h_mcvtx_muon");
h1->Draw("hist");
f1->Close();
}

Error:

root [0]

Hi,

there is something peculiar with the histogram stored in that file of yours. You should really consult with the person who generated file05.root: ask them how they did it exactly.

rootls gives:

% rootls -l file05.root
unique_ptr<TH1F,default_delete<TH1F> >  Oct 21 18:00 2021 h_mcvtx_muon;2 "object title" [current cycle]
unique_ptr<TH1F,default_delete<TH1F> >  Oct 21 18:00 2021 h_mcvtx_muon;1 "object title" [backup cycle]

@Axel Try (it first generates an error that it does not need a dictionary and then it generates an error that this dictionary does not exist):

[...]$ root -q -e 'gInterpreter->GenerateDictionary("unique_ptr<TH1F>", "TH1.h;memory");' file05.root

Error: It is not necessary to explicitly select class unique_ptr<TH1F,default_delete<TH1F> >. I/O is supported for it transparently.

But I am able to see the histogram from TBrowser. I am getting this error when I run histo2.cpp

Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, It didn’t work.

is the problem. As you showed above, h_mcvtx_muon is of type unique_ptr<TH1F>. So you’ll have to do something along these lines:

std::unique_ptr<TH1F> *h1Ptr = nullptr;
f1->GetObject("h_mcvtx_muon", h1Ptr);

Does that work better? It’s fairly awkward to use due to the “double pointerness”.

In general it’s (very!) rare to see people writing unique_ptr to a TFile; it’s more common to write the pointee directly. But the StreamerInfo warnings are still a bug. I have created Unnecessary (?) warnings reading `unique_ptr` · Issue #9188 · root-project/root · GitHub for that.

Thank you for your help!

It worked when I commented out “->Draw” part. How can I draw the histogram? Because it gave this error when I include ht1Ptr->Draw("hist"): error: no member named ‘Draw’ in 'std::__1::unique_ptr<TH1F, std::__1::default_delete >'

Try: (*h1Ptr)->Draw("hist");

It worked, thank you!
