I didn't hear any objections and it sounded like a good idea so I have added this now (will merge into main when the buildbot is green). In short, I've made a small change to UFL to allow 'F' and 'J' to be used in form files and a small change in the DOLFIN wrapper code generators to generate typedef aliases: BilinearForm = JacobianForm LinearForm = ResidualForm So nothing should break for old code. One can still use BilinearForm and LinearForm for nonlinear problems, but no in addition the more logical ResidualForm and JacobianForm. -- Anders _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
