* Update exactly how we handle MPI exceptions, particularly with respect to MPI-1 section 3.2.5, and how error handlers are only invoked for the ''first'' request that generates an exception. * Update the "see also" section to be consistent across all 8 MPI_Test* and MPI_Wait* functions. * Fixes trac:560 This commit was SVN r13619. The following Trac tickets were found above: Ticket 560 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/560

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ft R
|
|
A call to MPI_Test returns flag = true if the operation identified by request is complete. In such a case, the status object is set to contain information on the completed operation; if the communication object was created by a nonblocking send or receive, then it is deallocated and the request handle is set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL. The call returns flag = false, otherwise. In this case, the value of the status object is undefined. MPI_Test is a local operation.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The return status object for a receive operation carries information that can be accessed as described in Section 3.2.5 of the MPI-1 Standard, "Return Status." The status object for a send operation carries information that can be accessed by a call to MPI_Test_cancelled (see Section 3.8 of the MPI-1 Standard, "Probe and Cancel").
|
|
.sp
|
|
If your application does not need to examine the \fIstatus\fP field, you can save resources by using the predefined constant MPI_STATUS_IGNORE as a special value for the \fIstatus\fP argument.
|
|
.sp
|
|
One is allowed to call MPI_Test with a null or inactive \fIrequest\fP argument. In such a case the operation returns with \fIflag\fP = true and empty \fIstatus\fP.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The functions MPI_Wait and MPI_Test can be used to complete both sends and
|
|
receives.
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
The use of the nonblocking MPI_Test call allows the user to schedule alternative activities within a single thread of execution. An event-driven thread scheduler can be emulated with periodic calls to MPI_Test.
|
|
|
|
.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, MPI_File_set_errhandler, or
|
|
MPI_Win_set_errhandler (depending on the type of MPI handle that
|
|
generated the request); 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.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note that per MPI-1 section 3.2.5, MPI exceptions on requests passed
|
|
to MPI_TEST do not set the status.MPI_ERROR field in the returned
|
|
status. The error code is passed to the back-end error handler
|
|
and may be passed back to the caller through the return value of
|
|
MPI_TEST if the back-end error handler returns it. The
|
|
pre-defined MPI error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN exhibits this
|
|
behavior, for example.
