Hi Barry, <br>
<br>
The application calls PetscCallAbort in a loop, i.e.<br>
<br>
for i in range:<br>
  void routine(PetscCallAbort(function_returning_petsc_error_code))<br>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted1">
<br>
From the prior logs it looks like the stack grows every time PetscCallAbort is called (in other words, the stack does not shrink upon successful exit from PetscCallAbort).
<br>
<br>
Is this usage pattern not recommended? Should I be manually checking for success of the `function_returning_petsc_error_code` and throw instead of relying on PetscCallAbort?<br>

  Hmm, there could be a bug in our handling of the stack when reaches the maximum. It is suppose to just stop collecting additional levels at that point but likely it has not been tested since a lot of refactorizations.

<div>Yes, I have also seen this. What happens is that we have a memory error. The error is reported inside PetscMallocValidate()</div>
<div>using PetscErrorPrintf, which eventually calls PetscCallMPI, which calls PetscMallocValidate again, which fails. We need to</div>
<div>remove all error checking from the prints inside Validate.</div>

<div>  Thanks,</div>
