Detailed Description

A Root collection proxy for DataVector containers.

In order for a container type to be treated properly by TTree::Draw and friends, Root must recognize that it is in fact a container type, and generate an appropriate proxy for it. This doesn't happen automatically, though. This class serves as an appropriate proxy for DataVector classes. Like the Root proxy classes, it's based on making a hard cast to a dummy DataVector type. But because DataVector's can inherit, we need to be careful about pointer conversions, something the Root proxy classes could ignore. We extend the Root environment buffer to cache information about the pointer offsets.

FindOffsets()

void xAOD::TDVCollectionProxy::FindOffsets ( const char *  elttype, const char *  conttype  )

private

Initialize the cached pointer offsets.

Suppose we have D deriving from B, and thus DataVector<D> deriving from DataVector<B>. In general, inheritance may be multiple or virtual, so we need to adjust the pointer offsets.

Suppose we're setting up the proxy for DataVector<D>. Then fContoff will be set to the offset of the DataVector<B> base within DataVector<D> — this is the amount we need to shift the container pointer by before applying the proxy. Originally, we cached an offset for the element conversions as well. But that doesn't work for the case of virtual derivation. Instead, we save the Reflex types for the base and derived types, and use Reflex to convert. (We can get away with caching the offset for the container because we know what the fully-derived type will be. We don't know that for the elements.)

Parameters

elttype	The name of the contained type (including a trailing '*').
conttype	The name of the container type we're proxying. Note that this may be different from a DataVector of elttype for classes which derive from DataVector.
