Developers, We (the INL) have the need to grow the number of subdomains in our simulations past the current storage capacity of subdomain_id_type. This type is currently set as an unsigned char allowing only 256 subdomains. We are already starting to run and debug libMesh using a locally patched version allowing a storage size of 16 bits. I wanted to see what thoughts the other developers have to growing this type permanently to 16 bits. Should we make a new configure option to allow us to change the default size? Should we just make the change to the library? Are there other issues/concerns with changing this type?
