I'm generally not a friend of introducing more member functions for convenience, but think that this may be an exception (that I'm happy to see debated): In a previous patch (#16103), I added
AffineConstraints::add_constraint()
that adds an entire constraint at once. But, in a substantial number of places, we call this asconstraints.add_constraint(dof_index, {}, 0.)
, which means to constrain the DoF to zero, without dependencies. This is not wrong, and documented as saying exactly that, but it isn't entirely obvious to read. So this patch introducesAffineConstraints::constrain_to_zero(dof_index)
, which I think is easier to read. The patch then also converts all of the places in the library and the examples to call this function. The last commit also replaces some calls to our old API in the test suite by the new function.Happy to debate the wisdom of the proposal :-)
