[petsc-dev] remove ftime from PetscErrorCode TSSolve(TS ts, Vec u, PetscReal *ftime)

[Barry Smith]

   I don't understand, in TSSolve() I see

    if (ftime) *ftime = ts->prime;
and       if (ftime) *ftime = ts->max_time;

  why not just stash ftime in the TS object and provide a TSGetFinalTime(ts,PetscInt *ftime)?
