CHKERRQ

 Checks error code, if non-zero it calls the error handler and then returns Not Collective

Synopsis

void CHKERRQ(PetscErrorCode errorcode)

Input Parameters

errorcode -nonzero error code, see the list of standard error codes in include/petscerror.h

Notes

Once the error handler is called the calling function is then returned from with the given error code.

Experienced users can set the error handler with PetscPushErrorHandler().

CHKERRQ(n) is fundamentally a macro replacement for if (n) return(PetscError(...,n,...));

Although typical usage resembles "void CHKERRQ(PetscErrorCode)" as described above, for certain uses it is highly inappropriate to use it in this manner as it invokes return(PetscErrorCode). In particular, it cannot be used in functions which return(void) or any other datatype. In these types of functions, a more appropriate construct for using PETSc Error Handling would be if (n) {PetscError(....); return(YourReturnType);}
