"Right, but that means that the connectivity you read in is not in local numbering. You will have to renumber it, so making a copy is probably necessary anyway. This is the same sort of processing I do for the parallel read."
True, the connectivity is read in global numbering.
Renumbering is facilitated by the table from PetscHashSetI.
The connectivity list I am able to renumber in place though, I don't see the need to have another interim copy of the numbers.
My concern is that I have two memory chunks that both contain the same information.
The only reason It has to be this way is because I can't manually set the Cones first and the Chart/ConeSizes second.

Sort of...
So, the format does provide the number of vertices, however, due to the way I read the data in parallel I don't know immediately how many local vertices there will be.
Which prevents me from knowing the chart a priori.
I figured out the number of vertices using PetscHashSetI to determine the number of unique entries in the connectivity list.
Right, but that means that the connectivity you read in is not in local numbering. You will have to renumber it, so making a copy is probably necessary anyway. This is the same sort of processing I do for the parallel read.
Thanks,
Matt

My bad, I should have referred to the "dm->setupcalled".

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.

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

Sort of...
So, the format does provide the number of vertices, however, due to the way I read the data in parallel I don't know immediately how many local vertices there will be.
Which prevents me from knowing the chart a priori.
I figured out the number of vertices using PetscHashSetI to determine the number of unique entries in the connectivity list.
Right, but that means that the connectivity you read in is not in local numbering. You will have to renumber it, so making a copy is probably necessary anyway. This is the same sort of processing I do for the parallel read.
Thanks,
Matt

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.

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
