This is not possible unfortunately !
TTree provides 3 member functions TTree::Branch
1- for basic types
1- for objects DERIVED from TObject
1- for TClonesArray objects
Your class is not derived from TObject. We have a VERY IMPORTANT
limitation in the CINT interpreter now. We cannot craete objects
for which one part (a class) is defined interactivly and the other part
derives from a compiled class.
We had recently several discussions on this list about this topic.
I strongly hope that our BRAVE Masa will implement one day
this feature that will enhance considerably the power of the interpreter.
If you want to define a simple Tree with only simple data types,
use the class TNtuple instead.
