> I'm not using any sub classes of Expression. I am using dolfin::Function but as far as I know, I don't have to specify the value rank when using Function. What does this error message mean? I am using MeshFunction but I double checked the new programmers reference and I'm declaring it the right way, and it doesn't seem to need a value rank. What should I be looking for when I debug?

I think this might happens like the following:  your function space 
which you define the function from is different in your cpp code and in 
a ufl form file. For example

W = new YourForm::FunctionSpace(mesh) //it might not much to the 
function space in YourForm.ufl
Function w(*W);  //


You can print out the size of the vector w.vector() to check.
