Here is the example of the multiple function definitions that don't seem to work corrently. I was running ROOT v. 3.01/06. I found an old version (2.23/12), which doesn't seem to have the problem on my computer. The three functions can simply be:
void func(Text_t* PATTERN){
printf ("One argument=%s", PATTERN);
}
void func(Text_t* PATTERN, int mini, int maxi){
printf ("Three arguments = %s,%i,%i",PATTERN,mini,maxi);
}
void func(){
printf("No arguments");
}
Calling func("String",2,3) or func("String") with the new version yields:
"No arguments"
