.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ft R
|
|
MPI_Get_elements behaves different from MPI_Get_count, which returns the number of "top-level entries" received, i.e., the number of "copies" of type datatype. MPI_Get_count may return any integer value k, where 0 =< k =< count. If MPI_Get_count returns k, then the number of basic elements received (and the value returned by MPI_Get_elements) is n * k, where n is the number of basic elements in the type map of datatype. If the number of basic elements received is not a multiple of n, that is, if the receive operation has not received an integral number of datatype "copies," then MPI_Get_count returns the value MPI_UNDEFINED.

\fBExample:\fP Usage of MPI_Get_count and MPI_Get_element:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
\&...
|
|
CALL MPI_TYPE_CONTIGUOUS(2, MPI_REAL, Type2, ierr)
|
|
CALL MPI_TYPE_COMMIT(Type2, ierr)
|
|
\&...
|
|
CALL MPI_COMM_RANK(comm, rank, ierr)
|
|
IF(rank.EQ.0) THEN
|
|
CALL MPI_SEND(a, 2, MPI_REAL, 1, 0, comm, ierr)
|
|
CALL MPI_SEND(a, 3, MPI_REAL, 1, 0, comm, ierr)
|
|
ELSE
|
|
CALL MPI_RECV(a, 2, Type2, 0, 0, comm, stat, ierr)
|
|
CALL MPI_GET_COUNT(stat, Type2, i, ierr) ! returns i=1
|
|
CALL MPI_GET_ELEMENTS(stat, Type2, i, ierr) ! returns i=2
|
|
CALL MPI_RECV(a, 2, Type2, 0, 0, comm, stat, ierr)
|
|
CALL MPI_GET_COUNT(stat, Type2, i, ierr) ! returns i=MPI_UNDEFINED
|
|
CALL MPI_GET_ELEMENTS(stat, Type2, i, ierr) ! returns i=3
|
|
END IF
|
|
.fi

|
.sp
|
|
The function MPI_Get_elements can also be used after a probe to find the number of elements in the probed message. Note that the two functions MPI_Get_count and MPI_Get_elements return the same values when they are used with primitive data types.
|
|
|
|
.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.
