Too few template arguments in set

ROOT

I had some code files that compiled fine either using a Makefile or using .L foo.C+, but then I tried moving a function from one of the top-level files into another file inside a namespace, and now I get this compilation error:

root [10] .L Utility.C+

                                ^

The rest of the file Utility.C can be found here: http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~jfcaron/Tracking/Utility.C with the function at the bottom.

The exact same function when placed in a bigger code file (but in global scope there, not in a namespace) compiles just fine. It also compiles on ideone here: http://ideone.com/WJrLny. What could be causing the problem? The error message seems completely meaningless to me. A class in Utility.C does use the ClassDef macro, could the macro be leaking out somehow and messing up my set?

Note: you need C++11 support to compile the code, since it uses initializer_list-construction for the set, auto and range-based for loops.

Hi Jean-Francois,

can you provide a minimal reproducer, i.e. not involving Geom.C etc?
Btw, I tried with an old version of your code and adding an #include was enough to compile.

Cheers,

I guess that’s what I get for trying to code late on a Friday afternoon. It was indeed a missing #include , but the error message wasn’t very useful for that!

Hi, I have the same problem how did you fixed it?

This was a long time ago, but I think I was just missing #include <set>.
