Matt:
My bad again, I need to clarify something that I just realized doesn't make sense.
I said: "The nature of the I/O makes it so that I need to read the connectivity before I get a semblance of buffer sizes."
Scratch that, obviously, if I can read the connectivity, I know the buffer sizes.
What I should have said is that I cannot know the "chart" that one sets in DMPlexSetChart() a priori like in most cases.
I need to determine the chart from the connectivity lists.

"I do not understand the "flag check". What is that?"
My bad, I should have referred to the "dm->setupcalled".
I believe this PetscBool is checked by the other DM (not just DMPlex) APIs.
The subsequent checks for dm->setupcalled == PETSC_TRUE is what I meant to say.
Here's a copy of DMSetUp().

"We could make a DMPlexSetCones(), but as you point out, the workflow for DMSetUp() would have to change. Where does the memory come from for your connectivity?"
It's a memory that I myself allocate based on a file's contents.
The nature of the I/O makes it so that I need to read the connectivity before I get a semblance of buffer sizes.
Otherwise, I would stick to the tried and tested way.
Also, when replying to the PETSc developers, users must reply to petsc-users at mcs.anl.gov and not just to the individual email accounts of the developers, right?

Dear PETSc team:
For a project that I'm working on, I need to manually build a DMPlex.
>From studying the source code of the various APIs in which the plex is built from some supported file format, I get that the workflow is this:
1.
DMPlexSetChart() <-- Input nCells + nVerts
2.
DMPlexSetConeSize() <-- Input ConeSize for each point in [0,nCells)
3.
DMSetUp() – Allocates memory internally.
4.
DMPlexGetCones() --> Gives you the memory onto which to write the cell connectivity.
5.
*Write connectivity*
6.
DMPlexReorderCell() <-- For each point in [0,nCells)
I'm in a situation where the memory given by step (4) is available a-priori.
I was hoping to skip steps 2, 3 , and 4 with something like a "DMPlexSetCones()", but such an API does not exist.
My current workaround is to implement steps 2 through 4 as always and have double the memory allocated in the interim (my instance + DM's internal instance).
I was thinking of looking for the name of the struct member and = it to my memory, but I can't overcome the flag check in DMSetUp() during later calls to DMPlexGetCones() or DMPlexGetTransitiveClosure().
I do not understand the "flag check". What is that?
We could make a DMPlexSetCones(), but as you point out, the workflow for DMSetUp() would have to change. Where does the memory come from for your connectivity?
Thanks,
Matt
