[petsc-users] PetscOptionsGetRealArray command line format

[Xiangdong]

I have a simple script (see below) by just
calling PetscOptionsGetRealArray. I run the program like this: mpirun -np
1 runarraytest -myarray 1,2,3,4,5. However, the output is always "the
length of input myarray is 0".

Can you produce the correct result? Thank you.


Below is the script I use:


#include <petsc.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  PetscInitialize(&argc, &argv, PETSC_NULL, PETSC_NULL);

  double myarray[10];
  int nmax;
  PetscBool flg;

  PetscOptionsGetRealArray(NULL,"-myarray",myarray,&nmax,&flg);

  printf("the length of input myarray is %d \n",nmax);

  int i;
  for(i=0;i<nmax;++i)
    {
      printf(" %g\n",myarray[i]);
    }

  PetscFinalize();
  return 0;
}
