Well, I partially agree with you in that point. However, I still believe ISBlockGetSize is a bit confussing. Perhaps we can condensare ISBlockGetSize() and ISBlockGetIndices() in a single call like this: PetscErrorCode ISBlockGetInfo(IS is, PetscInt *n, const PetscInt *idx[]) Getting the actual, 'unmapped' block indices is a rather special call. > On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 10:09 AM, Lisandro Dalcin <dalcinl at gmail.com> > wrote: >> I believe we have to review the interface of ISBlock.
