ROOT 6 planning

Wednesday 11 May 2016, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

32/1-A24 (CERN)

Axel Naumann (CERN)

Present: Marcin, Peter, Muhammad, Lynn, Chris G., Marco

 

Peter:

o Issue with the new ABI. There is no recipe to make ROOT work compiled against system libraries.

 

Marcin:

o Applied the option of avoiding to remember paths of headers in dictionaries

o Working on creation of classes on the fly

 

Marco:

o Error with a class which has a unique_ptr with custom deleter as data member. This raises, as expected, an error.

 

Liz:

o Nothing to report

 

Andrea:

o Small regression in the pythonisation on mac link to exceptions: this is expected since the JIT is not supporting it on OSx.

 

Muhammad:

o Issues with distributing VC: this changed with the master. ROOT picks now up an external version.

 

Lynn/Chris:

o Still using configure/make - will need a hand with CMake

o Strange problems with interactive operation on OSx. Tests pass on linux: will characterise this very soon.
