MPI_Type_dup
is a type constructor that duplicates the existing type with associated
key values. For each key value, the respective copy callback function determines
the attribute value associated with this key in the new communicator. One
particular action that a copy callback may take is to delete the attribute
from the new data type. Returns in newtype a new data type with exactly
the same properties as type, as well as any copied cached information. The
new data type has identical upper bound and lower bound and yields the
same net result when fully decoded with the functions described in Section
8.6 of the MPI-2 standard. newtype has the same committed state as the old
type.
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.
