PETSc version 3.15.5
PetscObjectState
integer state for a PetscObject 
Notes
Object state is always-increasing and (for objects that track state) can be used to determine if an object has
changed since the last time you interacted with it.  It is 64-bit so that it will not overflow for a very long time.
