I think the bug is not that the old section is destroyed, but that the new one is not referenced.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 5:00 PM, Chris Eldred <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:chris.eldred@gmail.com" target="_blank">chris.eldred@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

DMSetDefaultSection destroys old sections. My usage pattern is<br>
<br>
for each variable<br>
call DMSetDefaultSection<br>
call DMCreateLocalVector<br>
<br>
which fails if there is more than one 1 variable that uses the same<br>
section since the sections are being destroyed when a new one is set.<br>
Is there a reason for this behavior in DMSetDefaultSection (ie can a<br>
version of DMSetDefaultSection that does not destroy the old sections<br>
be provided)?<br>
