[petsc-dev] DMPlexCreateSection from fortran

[Adrian Croucher]

hi

I'm getting a compile-time error when calling DMPlexCreateSection() from 
fortran. The error is:

        num_bc, pbc_field, pbc_pointIS, section, ierr); if (ierr .ne. 0) 
call MP
                                                 1
Error: Type mismatch in argument 'section' at (1); passed INTEGER(4) to 
INTEGER(8)

The code is below. (I'm not sure if there is a simpler way to do this 
that doesn't require all those extra pointer variables.) I based it on 
the C code in SNES ex12.

Is my code wrong or could it be a bug? I'm using the 'next' branch of PETSc.

Cheers, Adrian
