MPI_Comm_delete_attr - Deletes attribute value associated with
a key.
#include <mpi.h>

void MPI::Comm::Delete_attr(int comm_keyval)
- comm
- Communicator from which the attribute is deleted
(handle).
- comm_keyval
- Key value (integer).
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
MPI_Comm_delete_attr deletes
an attribute from cache by key. This function invokes the attribute delete
function delete_fn specified when the comm_keyval was created. The call
will fail if the delete_fn function returns an error code other than MPI_SUCCESS.
Whenever a communicator is replicated using the function MPI_Comm_dup,
all callback copy functions for attributes that are currently set are invoked
(in arbitrary order). Whenever a communicator is deleted using the function
MPI_Comm_free, all callback delete functions for attributes that are currently
set are invoked.
This function is the same as MPI_Attr_delete but is needed
to match the communicator-specific functions introduced in the MPI-2 standard.
The use of MPI_Attr_delete is deprecated.
Note that it is not defined
by the MPI standard what happens if the delete_fn callback invokes other
MPI functions. In Open MPI, it is not valid for delete_fn callbacks (or
any of their children) to add or delete attributes on the same object on
which the delete_fn callback is being invoked.
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.
