My program is giving me the error [color=blue]Warning in TFile::Append: Replacing existing TH1: Histo_2D(Potential Memory leak)[/color]
How does one fix this?
I am using ROOT 5.20 under Fedora 9.
Warning in TFile::Append: Replacing existing TH1: Histo_2D(Potential Memory leak)
The program reads ESRF edf images from hard disk(2048x2048) pixel by pixel, processes them and then puts them into 2D histograms.
The out put is good up to line 224 in the program, that is [color=green]h2_small->Print();[/color]
This is the out put below:
[color=green]
Reading setup file
0.0001 : ang_step
-0.004 : ang_first
82 : steps
0.0045 : dispersion
found 4 input paramters
Will read the file xxxxx0041.edf
The size of the 2D histogram side is 2048

dube,
This topic has been discussed extensively in the past, do a search on
“Replacing existing TH1”
and see for instance

I have read posts with a seaming “similar” problem but it has not solved my issue. Now I just get a segmentation fault without the warning about potential memory leak.
Please help?

dube,
Your trace tells that the segv happens in the routine “edf2text” during
a gets . That routine seems to be an exercise in C io, not a ROOT
related statement in sight . So please go in the debugger and step
through the code and surely you will find the problem .
Eddy
Problem solved!
Thanks Eddy, sorted out the problem … in edf2txt!
