PyROOT / cppyy: potentially ineffcicient "member offset" on enumerators

Running ROOT.TParameter["char"]().Print() triggers the following backtrace:

That seems unnecessary; TClass and friends should know it's an enumerator and should know the value of it.

Currently TParameter<char> does not have a provided dictionary:

$ rg -g \*LinkDef\* TParameter
core/base/inc/LinkDef3.h
266:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Bool_t>+;
267:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Float_t>+;
268:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Double_t>+;
269:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Int_t>+;
270:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Long_t>+;
271:#pragma link C++ class TParameter<Long64_t>+;

I don't think that's relevant to the issue :-) I tried to avoid any type that might have been instantiated already somewhere else, and with TParameter<char> I was positive that's not the case. You could also try with std::vector<TObject******> - if that had an enum member :-)

This is now

IncrementalExecutor::executeFunction: symbol '_ZN10TParameterIcE8StreamerER7TBuffer' unresolved while linking symbol '__cf_7'!
You are probably missing the definition of TParameter<char>::Streamer(TBuffer&)
Maybe you need to load the corresponding shared library?
IncrementalExecutor::executeFunction: symbol '_ZN10TParameterIcE5ClassEv' unresolved while linking symbol '__cf_7'!
You are probably missing the definition of TParameter<char>::Class()
Maybe you need to load the corresponding shared library?

That's practically the same area as #14287 For some reason cppyy does not go via the offset interface...

[core] Provide TParameter dictionaries for all arithmetic types

Original problem fixed by #21261, follow-up reported in #10724 (comment) fixed by #23613. Both fixes were merged in the 6.42 release cycle.

A regression test that ensures these member offset queries don't go through the interpreter anymore is proposed in CppInterOp:

[test] Check that enumerator queries don't go through the interpreter compiler-research/CppInterOp#1144

[core] Provide TParameter dictionaries for all arithmetic types
