Hello everybody,
I try to create a new member variable for the lduMatrix class. For test purposes I want to count the number of lduMatrix objects. Therefore I added the line

int number;

in the public section of lduMatrix.H.
In the constructor Foam::lduMatrix::ludMatrix(const lduMesh& mesh) in lduMatrix.C I added the following lines

static int count=0;
count++;
number=count;

In order to see which Matrices have been initialized, I added the line

cout<<"number: "<<matrix_.number<<endl;

in GaussSeidelSmoother.C.

The output is a little bit confusing. The first lines look like this:
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0
number: 20
number: 19
number: 13
number: 17
.
.
.
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0
number: 0

How is it possible, that number equals 0? With my implementation in lduMatrix.C the lowest digit for number should be 1. Therefore I conclude, that Matrix objects have to be initialized by a another way than Foam::lduMatrix::ludMatrix(const lduMesh& mesh), but where?

Can somebody tell me, why "number: 0" is printed and how to fix my problem.

Thank you in advance
