Re: usage of MatPreallocInitialize/MatPreallocFinalize

[Barry Smith <bsmith@mcs.anl.gov>]

  Actually they are not really internal routines; though their
documentation is a bit short. You can see uses of them in
src/dm/da/utils/fdda.c

  General statement. Etags, (see
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-dev/docs/codemanagement.html
and search for etags)
are an enormously powerful tool to get around the PETSc source code. In
this case you could simply use etags to search for MatPreallocInitialize()
and immediately locate all of its uses. There is also a TAGS for VI, check
VI's docs.
