PetscInitializeFortran#

Routine that should be called soon AFTER the call to PetscInitialize() if one is using a C main program that calls Fortran routines that in turn call PETSc routines.

Synopsis#

#include "petscsys.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscInitializeFortran(void)

Collective on PETSC_COMM_WORLD

Notes#

PetscInitializeFortran() initializes some of the default viewers, communicators, etc. for use in the Fortran if a user’s main program is written in C. PetscInitializeFortran() is NOT needed if a user’s main program is written in Fortran; in this case, just calling PetscInitialize() in the main (Fortran) program is sufficient.

This function exists and can be called even if PETSc has been configured with –with-fortran-bindings=0 or –with-fc=0. It just does nothing in that case.
