Subject: Check the number of nodes in FE_DGQArbitraryNodes.
X-Git-Tag: v8.5.0-rc1~1216^2
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b0e61533907e7bd35125e14cdb123ae4b95e7e08;p=dealii.git

Check the number of nodes in FE_DGQArbitraryNodes.

Currently, one can create an FE_DGQArbitraryNodes instance from a
quadrature rule with zero points, which causes segmentation faults (even
in debug mode) when one tries to use the element. This assertion
verifies that this cannot happen, at least in debug mode.
