I'm trying to read a binary file using an ifstream object, and
retrieving the data using a pointer. Unfortunately, it does not work in ROOT
(segmentation violation), although it works in plain C++. The macro I'm using
is:
{
ifstream f;
int bufferSize = 10;
int* buffer = new int(bufferSize);
f.open("testdata/test.dat",ios::binary);
f.read( (char*)buffer, bufferSize*sizeof(int));
for (int i=0;i<bufferSize;i++)
cout << *(buffer++) << endl;
}
If I change the pointer buffer by an array buffer[10], it works. But, I
want to set the array size dinamically, that's why I used a pointer.
I'm running my macro in a Sun machine.
Thanks for any comment or help.
