PetscIntMultError#

Computes the product of two positive PetscInt and generates an error with overflow.

Synopsis#

Not Collective; No Fortran Support

Input Parameters#

  • a - the PetscInt value

  • b - the second value

Output Parameter#

  • result - the result as a PetscInt value, or NULL if you do not want the result, you just want to check if it overflows

Notes#

Use PetscInt64Mult() to compute the product of two PetscInt and store in a PetscInt64

Use PetscIntMultTruncate() to compute the product of two PetscInt and truncate it to fit in a PetscInt

Developers Note#

We currently assume that PetscInt addition does not overflow, this is obviously wrong but requires many more checks.
