MPI_Get_count

Packit Service c5cf8c
Gets the number of "top level" elements 
Packit Service c5cf8c

Synopsis

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
int MPI_Get_count(const MPI_Status * status, MPI_Datatype datatype, int *count)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Input Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
status
return status of receive operation (Status)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
datatype
datatype of each receive buffer element (handle)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c

Output Parameters

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
count
number of received elements (integer)
Packit Service c5cf8c
Notes:
Packit Service c5cf8c
If the size of the datatype is zero, this routine will return a count of
Packit Service c5cf8c
zero.  If the amount of data in <tt>status</tt> is not an exact multiple of the
Packit Service c5cf8c
size of <tt>datatype</tt> (so that <tt>count</tt> would not be integral), a <tt>count</tt> of
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_UNDEFINED</tt> is returned instead.

Notes for Fortran

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for <tt>MPI_WTIME</tt> and <tt>MPI_WTICK</tt>) have
Packit Service c5cf8c
an additional argument <tt>ierr</tt> at the end of the argument list.  <tt>ierr
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
Packit Service c5cf8c
in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>call</tt> statement.
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI objects (e.g., <tt>MPI_Datatype</tt>, <tt>MPI_Comm</tt>) are of type <tt>INTEGER
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>in Fortran.

Errors

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
All MPI routines (except <tt>MPI_Wtime</tt> and <tt>MPI_Wtick</tt>) return an error value;
Packit Service c5cf8c
C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
Packit Service c5cf8c
argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
Packit Service c5cf8c
called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler
Packit Service c5cf8c
may be changed with <tt>MPI_Comm_set_errhandler</tt> (for communicators),
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_File_set_errhandler</tt> (for files), and <tt>MPI_Win_set_errhandler</tt> (for
Packit Service c5cf8c
RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine <tt>MPI_Errhandler_set</tt> may be used but
Packit Service c5cf8c
its use is deprecated.  The predefined error handler
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_ERRORS_RETURN</tt> may be used to cause error values to be returned.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past
Packit Service c5cf8c
an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever
Packit Service c5cf8c
possible.

Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_SUCCESS
No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_TYPE
Invalid datatype argument. Additionally, this error can
Packit Service c5cf8c
occur if an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see <tt>MPI_Type_commit</tt>) is used
Packit Service c5cf8c
in a communication call.
