[petsc-dev] CHKERRQ vs PetscCall for Fortran? Which is the future?

[Jacob Faibussowitsch]

Hi Glenn,

`PetscCall()` is the future, apologies for the confusion.

`CHKERRQ()` was mistakenly deleted from the fortran include files but exists for backwards-compatibility only.

Unlike “normal” changes we opted not to formally deprecate `CHKERRQ()` and friends (complete with compiler warnings) since they are so widely used.

Best regards,

I just wrote a script to refactor PFLOTRAN [CHKERRQ() -> PetscCall()], and I want to know which direction to head before asking everything to check in all their dev branches.  If CHKERRQ() is available with Fortran for the future, I will abandon the script and leave the devs alone.
