PetscIntMultTruncate

Computes the product of two positive PetscInt and truncates the value to slightly less than the maximal possible value

Synopsis

PETSC_STATIC_INLINE PetscInt PetscIntMultTruncate(PetscInt a,PetscInt b)
Not Collective Many br

Input Parameter

a - the PetscInt value Many br
b - the second value Many br

Output Parameter

c -the result as a PetscInt value Many br

Use PetscIntMult64bit() to compute the product of two PetscInt as a Petsc64bitInt Many brUse PetscRealIntMultTruncate() to compute the product of a PetscReal and a PetscInt and truncate to fit a PetscInt Many brUse PetscIntMultError() to compute the product of two PetscInt if you wish to generate an error if the result will not fit in a PetscInt Many br

Developers Note: We currently assume that PetscInt addition can never overflow, this is obviously wrong but requires many more checks. Many br

This is used where we compute approximate sizes for workspace and need to insure the workspace is index-able. Many br
