[petsc-users] Fortran Interface

[Palmer, Bruce J]

What do you do with something like a void pointer? I’m looking at the TaoSetObjectiveAndGradient function and it wants to pass a void *ctx pointer. You can set this to null, but apparently you have to specify the type. What type should I use? Is there something called PETSC_NULL_VOID or PETSC_NULL_CONTEXT or do I use something else?

Does documentation for the PETSc fortran interface still exist? I looked at the web pages for 3.20 (petsc.org/release<http://petsc.org/release>) but if you go under the tab C/Fortran API, only descriptions for the C interface are there.

I think after the most recent changes, the interface was supposed to be very close to C, so we just document the differences on specific pages, and put the general stuff here:
