[petsc-users] VecLoad from HDF5 file

Well ... I cleaned everything and did a fresh compile just now with
"print*, "foo"" here and there and it does print foo on the terminal  ...
So yes, I am running the changed code ! ;)

call DMCreateGlobalVector(dm, sol, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call VecZeroEntries(sol, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscObjectSetName(sol, "Solution", ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
print*, "foo"
call PetscViewerCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, hdf5Viewer, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerSetType(hdf5Viewer, PETSCVIEWERHDF5, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerFileSetMode(hdf5Viewer, FILE_MODE_READ, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerFileSetName(hdf5Viewer, trim(restartname), ierr);
CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerHDF5SetTimestep(hdf5Viewer, restartiter, ierr);
CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerHDF5PushGroup(hdf5Viewer, "/fields", ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call VecLoad(sol, hdf5Viewer, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)
call PetscViewerDestroy(hdf5Viewer, ierr); CHKERRA(ierr)

In the snippet, restartiter is an integer equal to 20.
I agree with you the line you just sent me should fix the issue. Maybe it's
a fortran stub problem, I'll double check the stubs.

Thanks !
Thibault
