MPI_Type_free - Frees a data type.
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_free(MPI_Datatype *datatype)
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_TYPE_FREE(DATATYPE, IERROR)
INTEGER DATATYPE, IERROR
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Type_free(datatype, ierror)
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(INOUT) :: datatype
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
- datatype
- Datatype that is freed (handle).
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
Marks the datatype object
associated with datatype for de-allocation and sets datatype to MPI_DATATYPE_NULL.
Any communication that is currently using this datatype will complete normally.
Derived datatypes that were defined from the freed datatype are not affected.
Freeing a datatype does not affect any other datatype that was built from
the freed datatype. The system behaves as if input datatype arguments to
derived datatype constructors are passed by value.
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.
