I don't understand the design of specifying and empty one. Why not have PETSC_EXTERN PetscErrorCode DMPlexGetGeomInfo(DM dm, PetscHMapI *hashTable) and return the one you have inside your container? > On Nov 27, 2023, at 9:11 AM, Brandon Denton via petsc-dev > <petsc-dev@mcs.anl.gov> wrote: > > Good Morning, > > I am trying to develop a function in PETSc that allows for the retrieval of a > PetscHMapI contained in a PetscContainer attached to a DMPlex.
