ROOT Meeting
Present: The ROOT Team, John Harvey, Pere, Andreas, Marco C., Benedikt
ACTION: Danilo&Axel find out why header parsing triggers lib load
ACTION: Danilo make LCG slot2 compile
ACTION: Bill put in Jira the issues which require ROOT changes
Axel:
o First achievement: CMake build infrastructure is progressing fast
o Philippe/Paul: I/O of private-protected classes
o Axel dealing with the errors of the new LLVM after the import
Marco Cl:
o Gaudi: the problem saw in the Gaudi QMTests performed after the build
could be reproduced interactively with Danilo. The issue seems linked to the auto loading
of libraries during headers' parsing.
o Danilo and Axel will follow up (see actions)
Bill:
o Official CMS build is not yet there
o Several problems still there both on CMS' and ROOT's side
o 3 static asserts in genreflex
o FWCore Package: still some files using Reflex
o Checksum version in xml files: was not there, in the repository since 17-9
o Replacement for Reflex properties is needed, not sure if in ROOT already
o TEnum: if ROOT has it it's CMS issue
o C++11 in the headers: cannot be properly compiled
o Axel: Properties and Enum are in ROOT
o At the meeting in 3 weeks because of holiday
Andreas:
o Backward-Forward compatibility: important for CMS core and conditions
o Axel/Fons: Our aim is to be backward/forward compatible
Peter (Although absent, this is a progress report sent by mail)
o Andrei and Ruben found the problem in the material calculation. Now it should be
fixed everywhere, but the usual Root6 reconstruction test will be run today.
o Andrei indeed introduced the bug in the big commit of July 4 and overlooked
it the first time. I fixed it and another one (affecting computation of normal
for xtru and influencing optical photons).
The fixes are both in origin/5-34-00-patches and origin/master.
Pere:
o Noticed some stiff conventions in the namings of the pcm while working on the
cmake.
o Axel: the name of the pcm is inherited by the target lib or as a fallback taken
from the dictionary name.
There are minutes attached to this event.
Show them.
