Segmentation Fault

nppatt · January 30, 2007, 11:45am

I have some code which goes through a list of root data files, allows me to select a particular area of a 2D histogram (using TCut) and then plot the gamma ray energies associated with a detector (say Branch “NAI_19_E”) in a 1D Histo only when those gamma rays are coincident with that TCut set on the 2D Histo.

Apart from some random segmentation faults, the code does what I require it to do.I shall copy the error and code below. Any help is appreciated.

============THE CODE=======================

{
gROOT->Reset();
gStyle->SetPalette(1);

ifstream infile;
infile.open("/home/nppatt/bin/files.dat");
if (!infile) {
cout << “Can’t load files” << endl;
}
Int_t i;
i=1;
char filename[100];
char name[100];
UShort_t channel19;

TCanvas c1(“CHIO:TTRI_PL”);
TCanvas c2(“NAI19”);

TH1F *na19 = new TH1F(“na19”,“Na19”,16000,0,16000);

while (!infile.eof()) {
infile.getline(filename,100);
if (filename[0] == '’) {
cout <>hsqrt(1000,6000,7200,1000,1500,6000)","",“colz”);
c1.WaitPrimitive(name,“CutG”);
tt->Draw(">> list",name);
TEventList list = (TEventList*) gDirectory->Get(“list”);
tt->SetEventList(list);
Int_t nentry = list->GetN();
cout << nentry << endl;

for (Int_t j=0;jGetEntry(list->GetEntry(j));
na19->Fill(channel19);
}

f.Close();
c2.cd();
na19.Draw();
i++;
}

}
}
Nick.

Hi.

Can you, please, attach your script or use “code” tags and disable HTML in your post?

antcheva · January 30, 2007, 12:41pm

Hi,

In addition, please provide information about your environment - ROOT version in use, operating system, etc.

Thank you, Ilka

nppatt · January 30, 2007, 12:45pm

I am using Root 5.11/02 installed on Ubuntu Linux 6.02

I should also note, that this segmentation fault occurs when I click on the 1D histogram to Rebin. However it does not occur everytime.

antcheva · January 30, 2007, 1:20pm

Hi,

The file /home/nppatt/bin/files.dat is missing. Can you put it in some public place and provide the link.

Thanks, Ilka

nppatt · January 30, 2007, 2:04pm

Here is the list of files attached, but the .root files are very large and I cannot attach an example root file for you to run the code with.
files.tar.gz (198 Bytes)

antcheva · January 30, 2007, 4:44pm

Could you post somewhere in a public area (AFS, http) your root files that may help to reproduce the problem? If possible to reproduce it by using one root file, please change your .dat file and put it at the same location.

Cheers, Ilka

nppatt · January 30, 2007, 5:46pm

I have placed one root file at the following address.

If you use the “files.dat” file to open and draw a cut on the same file a number of times (rather than opening and drawing a TCut on different files) it should have the same effect.

www.ph.surrey.ac.uk/~php2np

Thanks

antcheva · January 31, 2007, 10:16am

You have to give access permission to .root file. Currently I am getting the message: “Forbidden: You don’t have permission to access /~php2np/Run646.root on this server.”

Cheers, Ilka

nppatt · January 31, 2007, 8:24pm

I have changed the permission and you should have access to download the file.

Many thanks, Nick

antcheva · February 1, 2007, 11:02am

Hi Nick,

Thank you for provided access - I was able to copy your file. I have reduced the number of files in files.dat to three. Running ‘carefully’ your macro, I see no problem. The output is:root [0] .x CHIO_TTRI_PL.cpp Run646.root Mg1 572 Run646.root Mg2 100 Run646.root Mg3 194894 Break I used ‘carefully’ because a fast double-click in the beginning of defining TCutG provokes SegV.

Cheers, Ilka

antcheva · February 2, 2007, 2:06pm

Hi Nick,

A protection was added in cvs head to avoid the Segmentation fault when a graphical cut starts with double mouse clicks. Let me know if you want to fix your ROOT version (in case it was installed from source).

Cheers, Ilka

nppatt · February 2, 2007, 8:31pm

Thanks Ilka, I would like to fix this problem. Also, do you get a segmentation fault when you try and click on the 1D histogram and rebin? This is the most troublesome error.

antcheva · February 2, 2007, 10:52pm

Hi Nick,

No, I did not get that SegV. The only one I saw was fixed. If you could, please move to the recent version of ROOT v5.14. There were several improvements of TH1/TH2Editors. If you cannot, please describe the steps to follow for reproducing the problem.

Cheers, Ilka

nppatt · February 2, 2007, 11:30pm

Hi,

I have actually upgraded to 5.14 already so this problem occurs using the latest source from thr root website.

Essentially, if you click on the 1D histogram in order to rebin a segmentation fault occurs. It doesn’t always happen first time, but if you keep drawing cuts to update and append counts to the 1D histo you reach a point where a segmentation fault occurs and you are left in a state where you can no longer rebin.

In the example below, I draw cuts for 12 files, then on the last file the macro breaks having filled the histogram. When you click on the 1D histo using the cursor, immediately you get a SegV.

Hi Nick,

The signature of TH1Editor::SetModel method was changed in September 2006 and currently isvoid TH1Editor::SetModel(TObject* obj)One I see in your last post isTH1Editor::SetModel(TVirtualPad*, TObject*, int) That is confusing. Have you run “make distclean” before compiling the sources of v5.14?

Cheers, Ilka

nppatt · February 3, 2007, 12:31am

Thanks Ilka.
I reinstalled the 5.14 source , doing a make distclean before hand. It would appear for now that my Segmentation Fault has dissapeared and the macro seems to running ok.

Thanks for you help.

OH no. Spoke too soon. Now I have this.

Hi Nick,

Well, to avoid the previous bug, please change the line 409 in gpad/src/TCreatePrimitives.cxx from:if (mode == kCutG) {to:if (mode == kCutG && gr) { and let me know do you still get this crash.

Thank you, Ilka
