Thread and Interrupt Safety

Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c
This routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be
Packit Service c5cf8c
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
Packit Service c5cf8c
thread locks.  However, the routine is not interrupt safe.  Typically,
Packit Service c5cf8c
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as <tt>malloc
Packit Service c5cf8c
</tt>or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

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_COUNT
Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be
Packit Service c5cf8c
non-negative; a count of zero is often valid.
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.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_RANK
Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between
Packit Service c5cf8c
zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive
Packit Service c5cf8c
(<tt>MPI_Recv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Irecv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Sendrecv</tt>, etc.) may also be <tt>MPI_ANY_SOURCE</tt>.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_TAG
Invalid tag argument. Tags must be non-negative; tags
Packit Service c5cf8c
in a receive (<tt>MPI_Recv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Irecv</tt>, <tt>MPI_Sendrecv</tt>, etc.) may
Packit Service c5cf8c
also be <tt>MPI_ANY_TAG</tt>.  The largest tag value is available through the 
Packit Service c5cf8c
the attribute <tt>MPI_TAG_UB</tt>.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_COMM
Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null
Packit Service c5cf8c
communicator in a call (not even allowed in <tt>MPI_Comm_rank</tt>).
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_INTERN
This error is returned when some part of the MPICH
Packit Service c5cf8c
implementation is unable to acquire memory.
