Hi,

Is there any specific reason for returning constant value for
DofMap::global_dimension()?

Like other similar functions inside DofMap, it would be nice to have:

    unsigned int global_dimension() const
    {
      assert(_global_dimension > 0);
      return ufc_dof_map->global_dimension();
    }

instead of having,

    unsigned int global_dimension() const
    {
      assert(_global_dimension > 0);
      return _global_dimension;
    }

where _global_dimension is initialized once inside DofMap constructor.


I need this changed to handle crack propagation.

Yours,
Mehdi
