PetscTryMethod#

Queries a PetscObject for a method added with PetscObjectComposeFunction(), if it exists then calls it.

Synopsis#

#include "petsc/private/petscimpl.h"
PetscTryMethod(PetscObject obj, const char *name, (arg_types), (arg_value))

Input Parameters#

  • obj - the object, for example a Mat, that does not need to be cast to PetscObject

  • name - the name of the method, for example, “KSPGMRESSetRestart_C” for the function KSPGMRESSetRestart()

  • arg_types - the argument types for the method, for example, (KSP,PetscInt)

  • args - the arguments for the method, for example, (ksp,restart))

Notes#

This does not return an error code, it is a macro that returns with an error code on error.

Use PetscUseTypeMethod() or PetscTryTypeMethod() to call functions that are included in the objects function table, the ops array in the object.
