.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
MPI_Bsend performs a buffered-mode, blocking send.
.SH NOTES
.ft R
This send is provided as a convenience function; it allows the user to send messages without worrying about where they are buffered (because the user must have provided buffer space with MPI_Buffer_attach).
.sp
In deciding how much buffer space to allocate, remember that the buffer space
is not available for reuse by subsequent \fIMPI_Bsend\fPs unless you are certain
that the message
has been received (not just that it should have been received). For example,
this code does not allocate enough buffer space:
.nf
MPI_Buffer_attach( b, n*sizeof(double) + MPI_BSEND_OVERHEAD );
for (i=0; i<m; i++) {
MPI_Bsend( buf, n, MPI_DOUBLE, ... );
}
.fi
because only enough buffer space is provided for a single send, and the
loop may start a second
.I MPI_Bsend
before the first is done making use of the
buffer.
In C, you can
force the messages to be delivered by
MPI_Buffer_detach( &b, &n );
MPI_Buffer_attach( b, n );
(The
.I MPI_Buffer_detach
will not complete until all buffered messages are
delivered.)
.SH ERRORS
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.
.sp
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.
