Hi, Petsc Team, I wonder if we can utilize a global variable when using PETSc, such as a declaration and definition in the main function:
extern PetscScalar x, y, z; x = 1.0; This should be a regular usage in ANSI C and will help a lot when we have user-defined functions. If it can work, then it will easily replace those functions like DAGetInfo( ) and save running time. But I don't see any examples of using this in PETSc before. And I've tried this but it doesn't work or cannot pass the compiling check. Thank you. Zhisong Li -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
