I have some very strange behaviour. I have this code: Ok, this is just creating a bunch of objects, with some bells and whistles to give them unique names for when I call the method more than once. This is needed in some cases, but is currently turned off for my debugging effort, so this code runs only once. Now, when I use gdb to step through this code, looking at the variable addresses for each line, everything looks fine until I come to the last 'new' statement. At that point I get this:
void makeLocalResolution (char* pre, RooRealVar& timeVariable, RooRealVar& localBias) {
static int pdfs = 0;
pdfs++;
static char* pdfnames = new char[200];
sprintf(pdfnames, "%s_ssf1_%i", pre, pdfs);
RooRealVar* ssf1 = new RooRealVar(pdfnames, "", 0.9, 0.2, 5);
sprintf(pdfnames, "%s_ssf2_%i", pre, pdfs);
RooRealVar* ssf2 = new RooRealVar(pdfnames, "", 2.8, 0.2, 7);
sprintf(pdfnames, "%s_gauss1_%i", pre, pdfs);
RooGaussModel* gauss1 = new RooGaussModel(pdfnames, "", timeVariable, localBias, *ssf1);
sprintf(pdfnames, "%s_gauss2_%i", pre, pdfs);
RooGaussModel* gauss2 = new RooGaussModel(pdfnames, "", timeVariable, localBias, *ssf2);
sprintf(pdfnames, "%s_frac_%i", pre, pdfs);
RooRealVar* frac1 = new RooRealVar(pdfnames, "", 0.175, 0.02, 1);
(...)
}
(gdb) p ssf1
$8 = (class RooRealVar *) 0xa5fea38
(gdb) p frac1
$9 = (class RooRealVar *) 0xa5fea38
