Call a method on a `PetscObject`, that is a function in the objects function table `obj->ops`, skip if the method does not exist 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petsc/private/petscimpl.h"
PetscTryTtype(obj, method, other_args)
```

## Input Parameters

- ***obj -*** the object, for example a `Mat`, that does not need to be cast to `PetscObject`
- ***method -*** the name of the method, for example, mult for the PETSc routine `MatMult()`
- ***other_args -*** the other arguments for the method, `obj` is the first argument





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

Use `PetscUseMethod()` or `PetscTryMethod()` to call functions that have been composed to an object with `PetscObjectComposeFunction()`
