It appears people have been assuming sizeof(PetscInt) <= sizeof(PetscScalar) right and left in the code (to take advantage of VecScatter functionality). This is most definitely not true with —with-64-bit-indices —with-precision=single<br>

maybe others<br>

VecScatters are for moving Vec elements around, they are not a replacement for MPI calls!<br>

Please don’t do this in the future.</blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Please please please use PetscSF if you have regular layouts, and PetscSection for irregular layouts.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div>
