Thanks! I did a stupid test that just opens a file and exits ... and it seems to exit fine. Should I try something else or look harder at what happens in root? ``` #include "XrdCl/XrdClFile.hh" #include <cassert> #include <cstdio> #include <iostream> // c++ -o noclose-test noclose-test.cxx -I/usr/include/xrootd -lXrdCl const std::string FNAME = "root://eoscms.cern.ch//store/mc/RunIISummer20UL18MiniAOD/BToKee_SoftQCDnonD_TuneCP5_13TeV-pythia8-evtgen/MINIAODSIM/bParking_bParking_106X_upgrade2018_realistic_v11_L1v1-v1/280000/0040A793-C5FE-CB42-9846-DA1E89C342AB.root"; int main() { XrdCl::XRootDStatus st; XrdCl::File *f; f = new XrdCl::File; st = f->Open(FNAME, XrdCl::OpenFlags::Read); std::cout << "Status " << st.ToStr() << "\n"; } ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
