Default copy and delete functions are available.  These are
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_WIN_NULL_COPY_FN
empty copy function
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_WIN_NULL_DELETE_FN
empty delete function
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_WIN_DUP_FN
simple dup function

Return value from attribute callbacks

Packit Service c5cf8c
The MPI-2 versions of the attribute callbacks should return either
Packit Service c5cf8c
<tt>MPI_SUCCESS</tt> on success or a valid MPI error code or class on failure.
Packit Service c5cf8c
The MPI standard is ambiguous on this point, but as MPI-2 provides
Packit Service c5cf8c
the routines <tt>MPI_Add_error_class</tt> and <tt>MPI_Add_error_code</tt> that allow the
Packit Service c5cf8c
user to define and use MPI error codes and classes.

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.
Packit Service c5cf8c

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.
Packit Service c5cf8c

Packit Service c5cf8c

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
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_SUCCESS
No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_ARG
Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not
Packit Service c5cf8c
identified by a specific error class (e.g., <tt>MPI_ERR_RANK</tt>).
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
Packit Service c5cf8c
MPI_ERR_OTHER
Other error; use <tt>MPI_Error_string</tt> to get more information
Packit Service c5cf8c
about this error code.
