Stefano: Now, we need address this bug report: enable MatHasOperation(C,MATOP_MAT_MULT,&flg) for matrix products, e.g., C=A*B, which is related to your issue https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/608.
In petsc-3.13: 1) MATOP_MAT_MULT, ..., MATOP_MATMAT_MULT are removed from the MATOP table (they are still listed in petscmat.h -- an overlook, I'll remove them). MATOP_MAT_MULT_SYMBOLIC/NUMERIC ... are still in the table. 2) MatHasOperation(C,...) must be called for the matrix product C, not matrix A or B (slepc needs to fix this after this reported bug is fixed). Like MatSetOption(), MatHasOperation() must be called AFTER MatSetType(). You moved MatSetType() from MatProductSetFromOptions() back to MatProductSymbolic() in your latest patch, thus user has to call MatHasOption() after MatProductSymbolic(): MatProductCreate(A,B,NULL,&C); MatProductSetType(C,...); ... MatProductSetFromOptions(); //if the product is not supported for the given mat types, currently petsc crashes here, which we can replace with an error output MatProductSymbloc(); -> call MatSetType() MatHasOperation(C,MATOP_MAT_MULT,&flg) Question: how to call MatHasOperation(C,..) when MatProductSymbloc() is not supported? My fix to this bug: Resume MatSetType() in MatProductSetFromOptions(). Then user calls: MatProductCreate(A,B,NULL,&C); MatProductSetType(C,...); ... MatProductSetFromOptions(C); //if the product is not supported for the given mat types, C->ops->productsymbolic=NULL; MatHasOperation(C,MATOP_PRODUCTSYMBOLIC,&flg); if (flg) { MatProductSymbolic(C); ... } else { MatDestroy(&C); ... } Either you take care of this bug report, or let me know your thoughts about how to fix this bug.

My solution is adding { matreference; /* do not add refct when using MatProductCreateWithMat() to void recursive references */ } Mat_Product This flg prevents MatProductCreateWithMats() to increase reference counts, i.e., B does not own A and C to avoid reverse ownership. I am not sure this is a reasonable solution. Let me know if you have better solution. See ex109.c and ex195.c for tests.
