MPI_Comm_set_info(3)

NAME
MPI_Comm_set_info - Set communicator info hints

SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_set_info(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Info info)

Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_SET_INFO(COMM, INFO, IERROR)
	INTEGER	COMM, INFO, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_set_info(comm, info, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
	TYPE(MPI_Info), INTENT(IN) :: info
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

INPUT PARAMETERS

comm
    Communicator on which to set info hints

info
    Info object containing hints to be set on comm

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_COMM_SET_INFO sets new values for the hints of the communicator associated with comm. MPI_COMM_SET_INFO is a collective routine. The info object may be different on each process, but any info entries that an implementation requires to be the same on all processes must appear with the same value in each process's info object.

The following info key assertions may be accepted by Open MPI:

mpi_assert_no_any_tag (boolean): If set to true, then the implementation may assume that the process will not use the MPI_ANY_TAG wildcard on the given communicator.

mpi_assert_no_any_source (boolean): If set to true, then the implementation may assume that the process will not use the MPI_ANY_SOURCE wildcard on the given communicator.

mpi_assert_exact_length (boolean): If set to true, then the implementation may assume that the lengths of messages received by the process are equal to the lengths of the corresponding receive buffers, for point-to-point communication operations on the given communicator.

mpi_assert_allow_overtaking (boolean): If set to true, then the implementation may assume that point-to-point communications on the given communicator do not rely on the non-overtaking rule specified in MPI-3.1 Section 3.5. In other words, the application asserts that send operations are not required to be matched at the receiver in the order in which the send operations were performed by the sender, and receive operations are not required to be matched in the order in which they were performed by the receiver.

ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

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.
