PetscBagCreate#

Create a bag of values. A PetscBag is a representation of a C struct that can be saved to and read from files, can have values set from the options database

Synopsis#

#include "petscbag.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscBagCreate(MPI_Comm comm, size_t bagsize, PetscBag *bag)

Collective

Input Parameters#

  • comm - communicator to share bag

  • bagsize - size of the C structure holding the values, for example sizeof(mystruct)

Output Parameter#

  • bag - the bag of values

Notes#

After creating the bag, for each entry in the C struct call the appropriate PetscBagRegisterInt() etc to define the C structs layout

The size of the A struct must be small enough to fit in a PetscInt; by default PetscInt is 4 bytes; this means a bag cannot be larger than 2 gigabytes in length. The warning about casting to a shorter length can be ignored below unless your A struct is too large
