So my initial concern was that if I do: SNESSetDM(snes, dm); SNESSolve(snes); SNESDestroy(&snes); Then dm still has stale pointers to snes (in the context of the restrict hook). These aren't cleaned up until DMDestroy. It was surprising to me that SNESDestroy did not clean up all the things that SNESCreate/Solve set up. I don't care about the case of: SNESSetDM(snes1, dm); SNESSetDM(snes2, dm); I work around this issue by making new DMs, so it's OK if nothing changes in PETSc. Lawrence
