Barry, Yes, you are right. I had erroneously thought that it was a "user" routine with a manual page; I was thrown off by the nice comment at the beginning. =) --Richard On 3/27/13 11:14 PM, Barry Smith wrote:

As mentioned previously, I want to add DMLocalToLocalBegin()/End() interface functions. This operation is only supported by DMDA right now (see src/dm/impls/da/daltol.c). It appears that I should convert DMDALocalToLocalBegin()/End() to DMLocalToLocalBegin/End_DA(). I lean towards leaving DMDALocalToLocalCreate() (which is called "lazily" by DMDALocalToLocalBegin()) as-is, however. Does this sound OK?

Likely its name should be changed to DMLocalToLocalCreate_DA() so that it is clear that it is a utility routine that is not generally to be called directly by users.
