MPI_Address(3) MPI MPI_Address(3)NAMEMPI_Address - Gets the address of a location in memory
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Address(MPICH2_CONST void *location, MPI_Aint *address)
INPUT PARAMETER
location
- location in caller memory (choice)
OUTPUT PARAMETER
address
- address of location (address integer)
NOTE
This routine is provided for both the Fortran and C programmers. On
many systems, the address returned by this routine will be the same as
produced by the C & operator, but this is not required in C and may not
be true of systems with word- rather than byte-oriented instructions or
systems with segmented address spaces.
THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
This routine is both thread- and interrupt-safe. This means that this
routine may safely be used by multiple threads and from within a signal
handler.
DEPRECATED FUNCTION
The MPI-2 standard deprecated a number of routines because MPI-2 pro‐
vides better versions. This routine is one of those that was depre‐
cated. The routine may continue to be used, but new code should use
the replacement routine. The replacement for this routine is
MPI_Get_address .
NOTES FOR FORTRAN
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have
an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is
an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
the call statement.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
Fortran.
ERRORS
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error
handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.
The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for com‐
municators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine
MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The prede‐
fined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values
to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program
can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt
to continue whenever possible.
MPI_SUCCESS
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
MPI_ERR_OTHER
- Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information
about this error code.
