MPI_Testany(3) MPI MPI_Testany(3)NAMEMPI_Testany - Tests for completion of any previdously initiated
requests
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Testany(int count, MPI_Request array_of_requests[], int *indx,
int *flag, MPI_Status *status)
INPUT PARAMETERS
count - list length (integer)
array_of_requests
- array of requests (array of handles)
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
indx - index of operation that completed, or MPI_UNDEFINED if none
completed (integer)
flag - true if one of the operations is complete (logical)
status - status object (Status). May be MPI_STATUS_IGNORE .
NOTES
While it is possible to list a request handle more than once in the
array_of_requests , such an action is considered erroneous and may
cause the program to unexecpectedly terminate or produce incorrect
results.
THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be
safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically,
this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or
other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-
safe.
NOTES ON THE MPI_STATUS ARGUMENT
The MPI_ERROR field of the status return is only set if the return from
the MPI routine is MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS . That error class is only
returned by the routines that take an array of status arguments (
MPI_Testall , MPI_Testsome , MPI_Waitall , and MPI_Waitsome ). In all
other cases, the value of the MPI_ERROR field in the status is
unchanged. See section 3.2.5 in the MPI-1.1 specification for the
exact text.
For send operations, the only use of status is for MPI_Test_cancelled
or in the case that there is an error in one of the four routines that
may return the error class MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS , in which case the
MPI_ERROR field of status will be set. In that case, the value will be
set to MPI_SUCCESS for any send or receive operation that completed
successfully, or MPI_ERR_PENDING for any operation which has neither
failed nor completed.
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.
