Hello everyone,

Here are a little more information.

Here is the function calls I have:

SNESGetSolution(snes,&x);
VecPointwiseMax(x,x,xl);   Fail
VecPointwiseMax(x,y,xl); Fail

The error messages are"Object is in wrong state, Vec is locked read only,
argument #1."

It seems that the vector x returned from SNESGetSolution is locked read
only, Is it true?

If I want do some post processing by modifying the x after each nonlinear
iteration, how can I get the solution and modify it?

Thank you.

Best,
Xiangdong
