Description

art::PtrVectorBase has a member datum indicies_ of type indices_t, which is a typedef to std::vector<key_type>, key_type being itself a typedef to unsigned long. ROOT 5+ always stores this as 64 bits, but upon reading on OS X, it is narrowed to 32 bits.

In order to avoid the possibility of undesired narrowing, we should change the typedef of key_type to unsigned long long. This will not increase IO storage requirements, and will increase in-memory storage requirements only on OS X.

We should also survey art suite code for other examples of the same phenomenon.

History

#1 Updated by Christopher Green almost 5 years ago

  • Project changed from cet-is to art

#2 Updated by Rob Kutschke almost 5 years ago

Please also check cet::map_vector<T> - it has a key type 

unsigned long

Mu2e needs a 64 bit key.

  • Status changed from New to Rejected

Chris says to reject this: unsigned long is 8 bytes on both systems. This was a misreading of consequences of a different problem (std::size_t typedef on OSX vs. Linux).
