Hi,
I am currently working on an command line interface for the MINOS
experiement. I would like to provide users an interactive way to setup,
run, and examine reconstruction and analysis jobs. For this I need to
accept certain "MINOS specific" commands from the terminal, but would also
like to give the users full access to root for histogram plotting etc.
etc.
One way I thought to do this would be to create a derived class from TRint
and replace the HandleTermInput method. This basically works, but is
clumsy as I have to copy a lot of code from the TRint class into my own
class and lack of access to private data TRint::fNcmd and
TRint::fInterrupt is awkward.
Would it be possible to provide a method like:
virtual int TRint::DerivedProcessLine(const char *s) { return 0; }
so the command processing in TRint would look like:
if (!this->DerivedProcessLine(s)) ProcessLine(s);
Then users could easily extend the TRint interface to command languages
beyond rint and cint, but fall back on rint/cint if they are unable to
process the commands.
Perhaps someone can think of a better way?
Thank you,
Mark
