Hello Matt,
There was a problem with the way I was doing the tests, not
with PetscOptionsGetString. PetscOptionsGetString now behaves as
expected in all tests. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Matt,
Ok, something weird is going on. Some of my test cases are
behaving strangely (the output of the test in my previous message is
the expected behavior, but previously the test gave different
results). Let me figure out what is going on with the tests before
proceeding.

Hello,
I am trying to use PetscOptionsGetString to retrieve the
value of an option in the options database, but the value
returned in the last argument indicates the option was not
found. In the attached code (a modified version of ksp example
2), the string "-ksp_pc_side" is passed in as the argument name.
If I run the code as
./jc2 -pc_type ilu -ksp_pc_side right
I get the output:
option -ksp_pc_side was found
You gave the options and the program says it was found. What is the
problem here?
Matt
from line 71 of the file. Petsc does not complain of unused
options when the program finishes. Am I using this function
incorrectly?
