Packit |
0848f5 |
Blocks the caller until all processes in the communicator have called it;
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
that is, the call returns at any process only after all members of the
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
communicator have entered the call.

.SH THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically,
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I malloc
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

.SH NOTES FOR FORTRAN
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_WTIME
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
and
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_WTICK
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
) have
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
an additional argument
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I ierr
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
at the end of the argument list.
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I ierr
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I call
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
statement.
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
All MPI objects (e.g.,
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Datatype
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
,
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Comm
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
) are of type
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I INTEGER
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
in Fortran.

.SH ERRORS
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
All MPI routines (except
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Wtime
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
and
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Wtick
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
) return an error value;
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
may be changed with
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Comm_set_errhandler
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
(for communicators),
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_File_set_errhandler
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
(for files), and
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Win_set_errhandler
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
(for
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_Errhandler_set
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
may be used but
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.I MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
may be used to cause error values to be returned.
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
Note that MPI does
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
.B not
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
guarentee that an MPI program can continue past
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever
|
|
Packit |
0848f5 |
possible.
