Stream manipulator

ROOT
1

Hi, I’d like to write a custom stream manipulator for std::iostream. Unfortunately rootcint won’t make a dictionary for the class I’ve designed because it finds a syntax error in this line of the header file:

std::iostream& operator()(std::iostream& stream) const;

Is this because the operator returns a reference to a std::iostream? Is there any way to accomplish what I’m trying to achieve and make a dictionary for this class? The full class is attached.

Also, is there any way to get ACliC to print the commands it is executing i.e. increase its verbosity?

Cheers,

Hugh

Hi,
