Re: [petsc-dev] Should the STREAMS benchmark output be added to .gitignore?

PR #360 (off master but maybe should be off maint) adds the executables in src/benchmarks to .gitignore and fixes a couple of minor things noticed while building them . I didn't build everything in streams/ , since I'm not configured with OpenMP, etc. On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 5:09 PM, Jed Brown wr
