MPI_Type_create_extent

NAME

MPI_Type_create_extent − Create a resized datatype

SYNOPSIS

#include <mpi.h>
int
MPI_Type_create_resized(MPI_Datatype type, MPI_Aint lb,
MPI_Aint extent, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

INPUT PARAMETERS

type

- Inpute datatype

lb

- New lower bound of the datatype

extent

- New extent of the datatype

OUTPUT PARAMETER

newtype

- New resized type

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

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

All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is called to handle it. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less useful in with the C++ MPI bindings. The predefined error handler MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be used in C++ if the error value needs to be recovered). Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error values; instead, error values are communicated by throwing exceptions of type MPI::Exception (but not by default). Exceptions are only thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .

Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI functions will return upon an error, there will be no way to recover what the actual error value was.
MPI_SUCCESS

- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

MPI_ERR_TYPE

- Invalid datatype argument. May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ).

MPI_ERR_OTHER

- Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.

MPI_ERR_INTERN

- An internal error has been detected. This is fatal. Please send a bug report to the LAM mailing list (see http://www.lam-mpi.org/contact.php ).
