Hi Barry,

Thanks for your enlightening answers (as usual). It all makes sense now, indeed, I am calling PetscInitialize() multiple times. In my program, I use first PETSc alone to solve a linear system (I have a call to PetscInitialize and a call to PetscFinalize) and then I use SLEPc to compute eigenvalues. I did it like that because of memory consideration: I was thinking that some memory could be freed after the first petscfinalize but maybe I should only call slepcinitialize once and slepcfinalize once?

Anthony

Hi,

I am trying to run my code through the gnu debugger with:

${PETSC_DIR}/${PETSC_ARCH}/bin/mpirun -n 2 ./BiGlobal_Spectral_Petsc.x 
-ksp_type preonly -pc_type lu -pc_factor_mat_solver_package superlu_dist 
-eps_view -st_ksp_type preonly -st_pc_type lu -st_pc_factor_mat_solver_package 
superlu_dist -start_in_debugger

Following that command, I can see on my main screen:

3D POISEUILLE BASEFLOW COMPUTED ON GRID WITH NX = 15 NY = 15  ==> this is a 
comment in my program

[0]PETSC ERROR: PETSC: Attaching gdb to ./BiGlobal_Spectral_Petsc.x of pid 
30562 on display :0 on machine veltins.cfd.ame.arizona.edu
[1]PETSC ERROR: PETSC: Attaching gdb to ./BiGlobal_Spectral_Petsc.x of pid 
30563 on display :0 on machine veltins.cfd.ame.arizona.edu


And at the same time, I have 2 xterms that open. I have attached (see below) 
the content of 1 of the xterms since their content is very similar. Upon 
opening, the xterms seem to load some debugging info and then, I get:

(gdb)

At that point I type continue in both xterms which then show something like: 
[Inferior 1 (process 30563) exited normally] (see below). And at the same time, 
2 other xterms open (I have then 4 xterms open).
    This is not expected.  Are you calling PetscInitialize() multiple times?

If I type continue in these 2 new xterms, I get: The program is not being run.
    Strange.


Is the command continue that I have used suitable here?
   Yes that is what I do.

Does the [Inferior 1 (process 30563) exited normally] means that no bug was 
detected?
   Usually yes.

Or does [0]PETSC ERROR: PETSC: Attaching gdb to ... means that something is 
going wrong?
   Our printing the string PETSC ERROR here is kind of silly cause there is not 
really an error, I'll see if I can eliminate this.

   What happens if you use just one MPI process?
      1) do you still get the "extra" xterm and gdb?
      2) if you use start_in_debugger with one MPI process does it again offer an 
"extra" gdb after the first one?

   Barry


Thanks

Anthony
