[petsc-users] PetscBag Question

[Daniel Christian Weflen]

I have a question about PetscBagCreate (the documentation for which can 
be found here [1]).

The documentation says that the size of the struct cannot be larger than 
a PetscInt, which is 4 bytes. Is this referring to the entire struct, or 
just a pointer to it?

If the size of the struct itself cannot be larger than one PetscInt, 
what exactly is are PetscBags supposed to do?
