Vector<float> problems in root

ROOT
1

Here is my small macro that gives a terrible error when I try to run it:

testing.C

[code]#include

void testing(vector theFloats) {
cout << “hello” << endl;
}

void testing() {
vector filterEffeciency;
filterEffeciency.push_back( 1.0 );
filterEffeciency.push_back( 1.0 );
testing(filterEffeciency);
}[/code]

And this is when I try to run it from the command line:

$ root -l -b -q "testing.C()"
TDR Style initialized
root [0]

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Dear mbanderson,

I have unsuccessfully tried to reproduce your problem using exactly the same distribution as you from out 32-bit test machine:

One potential difference is the way you set the ROOT environment (here done by the ‘source’ line): can you check that?

the problem I had above may or may not be related to a bug I had found a different point in time that may be fixed by now.

Hi,

In the original problem it looks like the dictionary for vector was not automatically loaded (by the #include ) as it should have. It could have been a flaw either in the ROOT code or in your build of the source.

Either way a good work-around is to simply use:root -l -b -q "testing.C+()"

Cheers,
Philippe.
