[petsc-dev] MATSBAIJ MatChop MAT_GETROW_UPPERTRIANGULAR

[Jacob Faibussowitsch]

Hello All,

When using MATSBAIJ and MatChop you get the following error:

[0]PETSC ERROR: No support for this operation for this object type
[0]PETSC ERROR: MatGetRow is not supported for SBAIJ matrix format. Getting the upper triangular part of row, run with -mat_getrow_uppertriangular, call MatSetOption(mat,MAT_GETROW_UPPERTRIANGULAR,PETSC_TRUE) or MatGetRowUpperTriangular()
[0]PETSC ERROR: See https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html for trouble shooting.

But if you follow the instructions above, i.e. running with -mat_getrow_uppertriangular true then this works without a hitch. 

Since MATSBAIJ is always symmetric and upper triangular by design, then shouldn’t this MatOption be enabled by default? Or maybe MatChop should check MatType and use the correct MatGetRow impls.

Best regards,
