bool MPI::Comm::Get_attr(int comm_keyval, void* attribute_val)
const
- comm
- Communicator to which the attribute is attached (handle).
- comm_keyval
- Key value (integer).
- attribute_val
- Attribute
value, unless flag = false.
- flag
- False if no attribute is associated with
the key (logical).
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
MPI_Comm_get_attr
retrieves an attribute value by key. The call is erroneous if there is no
key with value keyval. On the other hand, the call is correct if the key
value exists, but no attribute is attached on comm for that key; in that
case, the call returns flag = false. In particular, MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID is
an erroneous key value.
This function replaces MPI_Attr_get, the use of
which is deprecated. The C binding is identical. The Fortran binding differs
in that attribute_val is an address-sized integer.
The MPI
standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the ATTRIBUTE_VAL argument
only for Fortran 90. Sun FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax
INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND ATTRIBUTE_VAL
where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length
of the declared integer in bytes.
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.
