Defined Constants for C and Fortran


Up: Language Binding Next: C bindings for Point-to-Point Communication Previous: Introduction

These are required defined constants, to be defined in the files mpi.h (for C) and mpif.h (for Fortran).

The following are defined C type definitions, also included in the file mpi.h.


/* opaque types (C) */ 
MPI_Aint 
MPI_Status 

/* handles to assorted structures (C) */ MPI_Group MPI_Comm MPI_Datatype MPI_Request MPI_Op

/* prototypes for user-defined functions (C) */ typedef int MPI_Copy_function(MPI_Comm oldcomm, int keyval, void *extra_state, void *attribute_val_in, void *attribute_val_out, int *flag); typedef int MPI_Delete_function(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval, void *attribute_val, void *extra_state) typedef void MPI_Handler_function(MPI_Comm *, int *, ...); typedef void MPI_User_function( void *invec, void *inoutvec, int *len, MPI_Datatype *datatype);

For Fortran, here are examples of how each of the user-defined functions should be declared.

The user-function argument to MPI_OP_CREATE should be declared like this:

FUNCTION USER_FUNCTION( INVEC(*), INOUTVEC(*), LEN, TYPE) 
<type> INVEC(LEN), INOUTVEC(LEN) 
 INTEGER LEN, TYPE 
The copy-function argument to MPI_KEYVAL_CREATE should be declared like this:
PROCEDURE COPY_FUNCTION(OLDCOMM, KEYVAL, EXTRA_STATE, 
               ATTRIBUTE_VAL_IN, ATTRIBUTE_VAL_OUT, FLAG, IERR) 
 INTEGER OLDCOMM, KEYVAL, EXTRA_STATE, ATTRIBUTE_VAL_IN, 
         ATTRIBUTE_VAL_OUT, IERR 
 LOGICAL FLAG 
The delete-function argument to MPI_KEYVAL_CREATE should be declared like this:
PROCEDURE DELETE_FUNCTION(COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, EXTRA_STATE, IERR) 
 INTEGER COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, EXTRA_STATE, IERR
