MPI_Attr_put - Stores attribute value associated with a key -- use of
this routine is deprecated.
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Attr_put(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval, void *attribute_val)
INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_ATTR_PUT(COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR
- comm
- Communicator to which attribute will be attached (handle).
- keyval
- Key value, as returned by MPI_KEYVAL_CREATE (integer).
- attribute_val
- Attribute value.
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please
use MPI_Comm_set_attr instead.
This deprecated routine is not available
in C++.
MPI_Attr_put stores the stipulated attribute value attribute_val
for subsequent retrieval by MPI_Attr_get. If the value is already present,
then the outcome is as if MPI_Attr_delete was first called to delete the
previous value (and the callback function delete_fn was executed), and
a new value was next stored. The call is erroneous if there is no key with
value keyval; in particular MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID is an erroneous key value.
The call will fail if the delete_fn function returned an error code other
than MPI_SUCCESS.
Values of the permanent attributes MPI_TAG_UB, MPI_HOST,
MPI_IO, and MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL may not be changed.
The type of the attribute
value depends on whether C or Fortran is being used. In C, an attribute
value is a pointer (void *); in Fortran, it is a single integer (not a
pointer, since Fortran has no pointers and there are systems for which
a pointer does not fit in an integer, e.g., any 32-bit address system that
uses 64 bits for Fortran DOUBLE PRECISION).
If an attribute is already present,
the delete function (specified when the corresponding keyval was created)
will be called.
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C
routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
argument. C++ functions 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.
