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, and
was deleted in MPI-3. Please use MPI_Comm_set_attr. This function does not
have a C++ or mpi_f08 binding.
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.
