[petsc-users] Skipping data when reading from binary file

[Peder Jørgensgaard Olesen]

Hello


I have a binary file in which a mix of different objects is stored (Vecs, Mats, PetscInts). I can read each element just fine using VecLoad, MatLoad, and PetscIntView, provided they're read in the order in which they were put in the binary. What I would like to do is to skip the reading of any unneeded element, instead proceeding directly to the next one. I tried using PetscBinarySeek() for this, as shown in the attached code. This produces segmentation faults, suggesting that the file pointer isn't going where I want it to.


Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong here?


Best regards,

Peder
