[Rivet] problem with Analysis::divide?James Monk jmonk at hep.ucl.ac.ukMon Dec 10 18:30:52 GMT 2012
Hi, I think there's a problem with the histogram divide method on the YODA-fied version of Rivet. It takes a pointer to a scatter plot for the result, thus: void Analysis::divide(const Histo1D & h1, const Histo1D & h2, Scatter2DPtr s) const and then assigns *s = h1 / h2; but that / operator returns a temporary that is not valid outside of the divide method. I'm not sure what the intent is here - should it be s = new Scatter2DPtr(h1 / h2); but in that case, why not do away with passing the pointer in and just return it? cheers, James
