NAME
MPI_Address - Gets the address of a location in memory -- use of this
routine is deprecated.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Address(void *location, MPI_Aint *address)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_ADDRESS(LOCATION, ADDRESS, IERROR)
<type> LOCATION (*)
INTEGER ADDRESS, IERROR
INPUT PARAMETER
location Location in caller memory (choice).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
address Address of location (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use
MPI_get_address instead.
This deprecated routine is not available in C++.
The address of a location in memory can be found by invoking this func-
tion. Returns the (byte) address of location.
Example: Using MPI_Address for an array.
REAL A(100,100)
INTEGER I1, I2, DIFF
CALL MPI_ADDRESS(A(1,1), I1, IERROR)
CALL MPI_ADDRESS(A(10,10), I2, IERROR)
DIFF = I2 - I1
! The value of DIFF is 909*sizeofreal; the values of I1 and I2 are
! implementation dependent.
NOTES
This routine is provided for both Fortran and C programmers and may be
useful when writing portable code. In the current release, the address
returned by this routine will be the same as that produced by the C &
operator.
C users may be tempted to avoid using MPI_Address and rely on the
availability of the address operator &. Note, however, that & cast-
expression is a pointer, not an address. ANSI C does not require that
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
tions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; 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.
