PETSc for Fortran Users#

Make sure the suffix of your Fortran files is .F90, not .f or .f90.

Basic Fortran API Differences#

Modules and Include Files#

You must use both PETSc include files and modules. At the beginning of every function and module definition you need something like

#include "petsc/finclude/petscXXX.h"
         use petscXXX

The Fortran include files for PETSc are located in the directory $PETSC_DIR/include/petsc/finclude and the module files are located in $PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/include

Declaring PETSc Object Variables#

You can declare PETSc object variables using either of the following:

XXX variablename
type(tXXX) variablename

For example,

#include "petsc/finclude/petscvec.h"
         use petscvec

    Vec b
    type(tVec) x

PETSc types like PetscInt and PetscReal are simply aliases for basic Fortran types and cannot be written as type(tPetscInt)

Calling Sequences#

PETSc Fortran routines have the same names as the corresponding C versions except for a few that use allocatable array arguments and end with F90(), see Routines that Return Fortran Allocatable Arrays.

The calling sequences for the Fortran version are in most cases identical to the C version, except for the error checking variable discussed in Error Checking and a few routines listed in Routines with Different Fortran Interfaces.

When passing floating point numbers into PETSc Fortran subroutines, always make sure you have them marked as double precision (e.g., pass in 10.d0 instead of 10.0 or declare them as PETSc variables, e.g. PetscScalar one = 1.0). Otherwise, the compiler interprets the input as a single precision number, which can cause crashes or other mysterious problems. We highly recommend using the implicit none option at the beginning of each Fortran subroutine and declaring all variables.

Error Checking#

In the Fortran version, each PETSc routine has as its final argument an integer error variable. The error code is nonzero if an error has been detected; otherwise, it is zero. For example, the Fortran and C variants of KSPSolve() are given, respectively, below, where ierr denotes the PetscErrorCode error variable:

call KSPSolve(ksp, b, x, ierr) ! Fortran
ierr = KSPSolve(ksp, b, x);    // C

For proper error handling one should not use the above syntax instead one should use

PetscCall(KSPSolve(ksp, b, x, ierr))   ! Fortran subroutines
PetscCallA(KSPSolve(ksp, b, x, ierr))  ! Fortran main program
PetscCall(KSPSolve(ksp, b, x))         // C

Passing Null Pointers#

Many PETSc C functions have the option of passing a NULL argument (for example, the fifth argument of MatCreateSeqAIJ()). From Fortran, users must pass PETSC_NULL_XXX to indicate a null argument (where XXX is INTEGER, DOUBLE, CHARACTER, SCALAR, VEC, MAT, etc depending on the argument type); passing a literal 0 from Fortran in this case will crash the code. For example, when no options prefix is desired in the routine PetscOptionsGetInt(), one must use the following command in Fortran:

PetscCall(PetscOptionsGetInt(PETSC_NULL_OPTIONS, PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER, PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER, '-name', N, flg, ierr))

Matrix, Vector and IS Indices#

All matrices, vectors and IS in PETSc use zero-based indexing in the PETSc API regardless of whether C or Fortran is being used. For example, MatSetValues() and VecSetValues() always use zero indexing. See Basic Matrix Operations for further details.

Indexing into Fortran arrays, for example obtained with VecGetArrayF90(), uses the Fortran convention and generally begin with 1 except for special routines such as DMDAVecGetArrayF90() which uses the ranges provided by DMDAGetCorners().

Setting Routines and Contexts#

Some PETSc functions take as arguments user-functions and contexts for the function. For example

external func
SNESSetFunction(snes, r, func, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec r
PetscErrorCode ierr

where func has the calling sequence

subroutine func(snes, x, f, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec x,f
PetscErrorCode ierr

and ctx can be almost anything (represented as void * in C).

It can be a Fortran derived type as in

subroutine func(snes, x, f, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec x,f
type (userctx)   ctx
PetscErrorCode ierr
...

external func
SNESSetFunction(snes, r, func, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec r
PetscErrorCode ierr
type (userctx)   ctx

or a PETSc object

subroutine func(snes, x, f, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec x,f
Vec ctx
PetscErrorCode ierr
...

external func
SNESSetFunction(snes, r, func, ctx, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec r
PetscErrorCode ierr
Vec ctx

or nothing

subroutine func(snes, x, f, dummy, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec x,f
integer dummy(*)
PetscErrorCode ierr
...

external func
SNESSetFunction(snes, r, func, 0, ierr)
SNES snes
Vec r
PetscErrorCode ierr

When a function pointer (declared as external in Fortran) is passed as an argument to a PETSc function, it is assumed that this function references a routine written in the same language as the PETSc interface function that was called. For instance, if SNESSetFunction() is called from C, the function must be a C function. Likewise, if it is called from Fortran, the function must be (a subroutine) written in Fortran.

Compiling and Linking Fortran Programs#

See Writing C/C++ or Fortran Applications.

Routines with Different Fortran Interfaces#

The following Fortran routines differ slightly from their C counterparts; see the manual pages and previous discussion in this chapter for details:

The following functions are not supported in Fortran:

Routines that Return Fortran Allocatable Arrays#

Many PETSc functions that return an array of values in C in an argument (such as ISGetIndices()) return an allocatable array in Fortran. The Fortran function names for these are suffixed with F90 as indicated below. A few routines, such as VecDuplicateVecs() discussed above, do not return a Fortran allocatable array; a large enough array must be explicitly declared before use and passed into the routine.

C-API

ISGetIndices()

ISRestoreIndices()

ISLocalToGlobalMappingGetIndices()

ISLocalToGlobalMappingRestoreIndices()

VecGetArray()

VecRestoreArray()

VecGetArrayRead()

VecRestoreArrayRead()

VecDuplicateVecs()

VecDestroyVecs()

DMDAVecGetArray()

DMDAVecRestoreArray()

DMDAVecGetArrayRead()

DMDAVecRestoreArrayRead()

DMDAVecGetArrayWrite()

DMDAVecRestoreArrayWrite()

MatGetRowIJ()

MatRestoreRowIJ()

MatSeqAIJGetArray()

MatSeqAIJRestoreArray()

MatMPIAIJGetSeqAIJ()

MatDenseGetArray()

MatDenseRestoreArray()

The array arguments to these Fortran functions should be declared with forms such as

PetscScalar, pointer :: x(:)
PetscInt, pointer :: idx(:)

See the manual pages for details and pointers to example programs.

Duplicating Multiple Vectors#

The Fortran interface to VecDuplicateVecs() differs slightly from the C/C++ variant. To create n vectors of the same format as an existing vector, the user must declare a vector array, v_new of size n. Then, after VecDuplicateVecs() has been called, v_new will contain (pointers to) the new PETSc vector objects. When finished with the vectors, the user should destroy them by calling VecDestroyVecs(). For example, the following code fragment duplicates v_old to form two new vectors, v_new(1) and v_new(2).

Vec          v_old, v_new(2)
PetscInt     ierr
PetscScalar  alpha
....
PetscCall(VecDuplicateVecs(v_old, 2, v_new, ierr))
alpha = 4.3
PetscCall(VecSet(v_new(1), alpha, ierr))
alpha = 6.0
PetscCall(VecSet(v_new(2), alpha, ierr))
....
PetscCall(VecDestroyVecs(2, v_new, ierr))

Sample Fortran Programs#

Sample programs that illustrate the PETSc interface for Fortran are given below, corresponding to Vec Test ex19f, Vec Tutorial ex4f, Draw Test ex5f, and SNES Tutorial ex1f, respectively. We also refer Fortran programmers to the C examples listed throughout the manual, since PETSc usage within the two languages differs only slightly.

Calling Fortran Routines from C (and C Routines from Fortran)#

The information here applies only if you plan to call your own C functions from Fortran or Fortran functions from C. Different compilers have different methods of naming Fortran routines called from C (or C routines called from Fortran). Most Fortran compilers change the capital letters in Fortran routines to all lowercase. With some compilers, the Fortran compiler appends an underscore to the end of each Fortran routine name; for example, the Fortran routine Dabsc() would be called from C with dabsc_(). Other compilers change all the letters in Fortran routine names to capitals.

PETSc provides two macros (defined in C/C++) to help write portable code that mixes C/C++ and Fortran. They are PETSC_HAVE_FORTRAN_UNDERSCORE and PETSC_HAVE_FORTRAN_CAPS , which will be defined in the file $PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/include/petscconf.h based on the compilers conventions. The macros are used, for example, as follows:

#if defined(PETSC_HAVE_FORTRAN_CAPS)
#define dabsc_ DABSC
#elif !defined(PETSC_HAVE_FORTRAN_UNDERSCORE)
#define dabsc_ dabsc
#endif
.....
dabsc_( &n,x,y); /* call the Fortran function */
