Gavin S. Davies

Gavin Davies modernized the build system for the EMPHATICSoft/emphaticsoft repository, focusing on improving reliability and maintainability. He migrated the project from cet_rootcint to ROOT’s REFLEX for dictionary generation, updated dependencies, and removed obsolete components to streamline configuration management. Using C++ and CMake, Gavin addressed ARICH Reco robustness by fixing header includes, replacing variable-length arrays with std::vector, and ensuring safe pointer initialization. His work resolved C++11/17 deprecations and improved error handling, resulting in smoother builds and enhanced portability. These changes reduced build-time friction and enabled faster, more reliable releases while supporting ongoing upgrades within the ROOT ecosystem.
