MPI_Request_get_status(3) Manual Page

Unlike MPI_Test, MPI_Request_get_status does not deallocate or deactivate the request. A call to one of the test/wait routines or MPI_Request_free should be made to release the request object.

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

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.

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. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with 'MPI_Comm_set_errhandler' (for communicators), 'MPI_File_set_errhandler' (for files), and 'MPI_Win_set_errhandler' (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine 'MPI_Errhandler_set' may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler 'MPI_ERRORS_RETURN' may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
