Thread and Interrupt Safety
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe.
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
This means that this routine may safely be used by multiple threads and
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
from within a signal handler.

Deprecated Function
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
The MPI-2 standard deprecated a number of routines because MPI-2 provides
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
better versions. This routine is one of those that was deprecated. The
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
routine may continue to be used, but new code should use the replacement
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
routine.
|
|
Packit Service |
c5cf8c |
The replacement for this routine is <tt>MPI_Type_get_extent</tt>.

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.

MPI_SUCCESS No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

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.
