Synopsis

int MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc(int cvar_index, void *obj_handle,
                            MPI_T_cvar_handle *handle, int *count)

Input Parameters

cvar_index

index of control variable for which handle is to be allocated (index)

obj_handle

reference to a handle of the mpi object to which this variable is supposed to be bound (pointer)

Output Parameters

handle

allocated handle (handle)

count

number of elements used to represent this variable (integer)

Thread and Interrupt Safety

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.

Errors

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.

  • MPI_SUCCESS - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

  • MPI_T_ERR_INVALID - Invalid use of the interface or bad parameter values(s).

  • MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_INDEX - Index is invalid or has been deleted.

  • MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED - The MPI tool information interface is not initialized.

  • MPI_T_ERR_OUT_OF_HANDLES - No more handles available.

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