when generating HTML files it seems that THtml::MakeClass() generates a
SEG when it cannot find the implementation file source (because the
source path wasn't set properly in Root.Html.SourceDir). here is the code
from THtml::MakeClass():
...
Char_t *htmlFile = GetHtmlFileName( classPtr );
if( !strncmp( htmlFile, "http://", 7 )) htmlFile = NULL;
if( htmlFile ) {
...
THtml::GetHtmlFileName() returns a NULL when it can't find the file. so
the strncmp() also needs to be protected from testing a NULL pointer.
by the way, this also seems to be the reason why THtml::MakeAll() gives a
SEG - it can't find the Root source code. THtml::MakeAll() should just
loop over all classes and skip the ones it can't find the source code to.
related question: why is gHtml only initialized when one constructs a
THtml object anyway?
