[petsc-users] TS tutorial ex11 in Fortran

[Thibault Bridel-Bertomeu]

Dear Jed, dear Barry,

Thank you for the fast answers !

If I have any success I will make sure to make a pull request to provide
some version of ex11 in Fortran.

Regarding the stubs, I admit I started looking in that direction to add the
missing wrappers but I am not sure I fully understand the process yet.
For each C function, I gotta provide a Fortran interface in a .h90 file as
well as a C function that has a Fortran-like prototype and calls the C
function - right ? However there are a few things I could not find /
understand yet.
For instance, it appears that for C functions that have character string
arguments take an extra argument in their Fortran-like-prototype-wrapper,
namely the length of the string. Is that passed automatically ? I couldn’t
find where it could come from ...
Another thing is for functions like PetscFVView. I guess the wrapping is
less straightforward because I tried a quick something and it segfault’ed.
I couldnt find the wrapper for DMView although there is such a routine in
Fortran too. Could you please detail how to wrap such functions ?

Thank you very much again,

Thibault Bridel-Bertomeu
