Wow, did I miss a lot of devel messages; you go away from email for one or two hours...

This is a good idea. We could also keep that subdomain id set precomputed like John suggested, but doing it safely would take more than just a modification of add_elem() - we'd also want to modify the subdomain_id() function that returns a writeable reference, so that any attempt to rewrite a subdomain id got caught: either replace it with a set_subdomain_id(), or if we suddenly "got religion" again about API backwards compatibility, cause it to return a proxy class with an overloaded operator=. > But that's overkill when we really do know the number of > subdomains... so for now I'm just going to make that public. Sounds good. We really need a third category beyond public and protected/private, though; maybe start using namespaces called "Private" as shorthand for "the compiler won't stop you from using this, but we're not going to support the API or guarantee it will work like you expect". --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Libmesh-devel mailing list Libmesh-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-devel
