<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks for quick answering.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I looked into SNESSetFromOptions() in the debugger and MF was 
not chosen. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Still the wired thing is the&nbsp;code never breaks at the 
point I set inside FormJacobian when running in the debug mode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I will leave this issue alone again and look at it 
later.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Actually I am struggling with a SNES solve. The followings are 
some outputs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-snes_ratiomonitor shows that residual norm almost equals to 
one but the SNES converged,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>is this a&nbsp;good

  class=gmail_quote>Hi,<BR>Good morning/evening!<BR>I have this issue for 
    quite a while. Using MSVC with Petsc, when debuging the code, the 
    FormJacobian was never called, instead calling "MatMFFDComputeJacobian(SNES 
    snes,Vec x,Mat *jac,Mat *B,MatStructure *flag,void *dummy)", though I donot 
    use matrix free option.<BR><BR>However, when runing the same thing in 
    command line (still a debug compilation), I can see FormJacobian was called 
    correctly.<BR><BR>Any hint?<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
  <DIV><BR></DIV>
  <DIV>My guess is that you are getting the matrix-free option from somewhere 
  (maybe a .petscrc file?). You can use -options_dump to see</DIV>
  <DIV>everything passed in. If not, look at SNESSetFromOptions() in the 
  debugger, and see why it is choosing MF.</DIV>
