[petsc-users] PETSC with-debugging and petsc errors

[Barry Smith]

  Use the run time option -on_error_abort then it aborts at exactly the line it finds the problem; this is a good option when you run in the debugger. Note that if you use the option -start_in_debugger or -on_error_attach_debugger it automatically does the abort on error detection.
