It’s the first time I’m trying to setup field split so maybe I’m missing something
I have a MatNest with NULL (1,1) block. I setup the field split using the row ISs from the MatNest (a note aside: why they cannot be inferred by FieldSplit if pc->pmat is of type MatNEST?) Options used are -pc_fieldsplit_type additive and -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point
You don't need ISes is you use detect_saddle_point, so use one or the other.
I then get this error, because MatGetSubMatrix_Nest returns a NULL pointer. What is the solution? having MatGetSubMatrix_Nest return a zero-valued matrix of correct size? any command line option I’m not using? Or instead having Fieldsplit handle the case?
I think have Nest return a real matrix is the right solution, since this is what will happen with other types. Matt
