Hmm... 'svn annotate' says the solve() function and the destructor have been virtual since version 1811, that version dates back to 2007-01-22. The other two virtual functions are more recent, from 3517, added by Roy for adjoint and sensitivity solve stuff. I'd imagine none of these really affects what you are doing with EquationSystems, does it? -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Libmesh-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-devel
