I am trying to build our standard MINOS event display application with ROOT
2.21/08. Our main application is quite standard:-
..
int Error; // Needed by Motif on HP-UX
extern void InitGui();
VoidFuncPtr_t initfuncs[] = { InitGui, 0 };
TROOT root("MINOS GUI", "MINOS GUI test environment", initfuncs);
MINFast *gMINFast;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
cout << "Main program starting ..." << endl;
TRint theApp("Rint", &argc, argv, 0, 0);
...
but it dies BEFORE control passes to the main function with:-
Fatal in <operator delete>: storage area overwritten
aborting
so it must be a problem with a static object. If I comment out the TROOT root
definition, the program dies of course, but at least I see the message "Main
program starting ..." first, showing that the main program has got control.
Using the debugger, the traceback for the error is:-
minfastjob
__init_sti__minfastjob_C_Error
TROOT
InitSystem
TENV
__dla
operator delete
Fatal
ErrorHandler
DefaultErrorHandler
Abort
...
any idea where I should start to look? I am using DIGITAL C++ V6.1-027 and the
tar file DEC/Alpha/Unix with DEC/CXX 6 version 2.21/08. I get the problem
whether I take the supplied binary or rebuild locally. Its probably not
connected but, when I do compile I get many warning on CINT generated code of
the form:-
> cxx: Warning: MinfCint.cc, line 56: type qualifier is meaningless on cast type
> (const Int_t)G__int(libp->para[0]),(const Int_t)G__int(libp->para[1])
> -^
which I never used to get.
Thanks,
