PCGetType question



Hi all,

 

I’ve been trying to figure out how exactly to find out the PCType for a given PC context. Here’s the sample code I’ve been trying to execute but to no avail.

 

Method 1:

 

PetscTruth isshell ;

                       

PetscTypeCompare((PetscObject)pc, PCSHELL, &isshell);

                       

PetscPrintf(PETSC_COMM_SELF, " PETSC_IS_SHELL = %D", isshell) ;

 

Result: The isshell variable is always false even when I set –pc_type shell option. Why ?

 

Method 2:

 

PCType currpcType ;

 

ierr = PCGetType(pc, &currpcType) ;

 

if(currpcType == PCSHELL)

    isshell = PETSC_TRUE ;

 

PetscPrintf(PETSC_COMM_SELF, " PETSC_IS_SHELL = %D", isshell) ;

 

Result: Again, the isshell variable is always false even when I set –pc_type shell option. Also, my currpcType string is a null string.

 

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong on either one of these cases. I just spent a while trying to figure out if there was a bug in some other part of my code while the isshell variable is never set in the first place. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Vijay
