//If I have a
TH1F * hist;
//And I wish to clone it such as
TH1F const * clonedHist = static_cast< TH1F *> (hist->Clone("clonedHist"
));
// Once the job of clonedHist is done does one need to delete it
delete clonedHist;
// or not?
//
// I.e, is clonedHist a ptr to a new TH1F(/* */),
// in which case I must delete it when done with it, or
// there is no newing involved in which case I must not delete clonedHist;
// at the end?
// Maybe this is not relevant when I write a macro or a fnct and am using
cint
// (but I still would want to
// consistently delete what was newed).
// Is'nt this point important to
// know when I write my own main() and load all the necessary root headers
into
// my main program.
// Is there a difference when I use my own main() and when I use cint?
I tried to follow the chain of TH1::Clone -> TNamed -> TObject but I was
not able to see through what a G__ClassInfo * actually is so I could not
push throughthe complete reasoning.
Thank you, your confused Isi
