Hi,
PetscVFPrintfDefault crashes on using -help on command line
due to bad function arguments.
Tried this using src/snes/examples/tutorials/ex19, and
petsc-dev nightly and petsc-3.3-p1. The stack is given below
and the code is not valgrind clean. The debugger told
me that in src/ksp/ksp/interface/itcl.c and on this line
ksp->pc_side is -1.
ierr = PetscOptionsEList("-ksp_pc_side","KSP preconditioner side",
"KSPSetPCSide",PCSides,3,PCSides[ksp->pc_side],&indx,&flg);CHKERRQ(ierr);
Stack:
..... [help skipped]
-ksp_monitor_draw_true_residual: <FALSE> Monitor graphically true residual
norm (KSPMonitorSet)
-ksp_monitor_range_draw: <FALSE> Monitor graphically range of preconditioned
residual norm (KSPMonitorSet)
-ksp_monitor_ams: <FALSE> Publish KSP progress using AMS (KSPMonitorSet)
