NAME

       MPI_Win_create_keyval - Creates a keyval for a window.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Win_create_keyval(MPI_Win_copy_attr_function *win_copy_attr_fn,
            MPI_Win_delete_attr_function *win_delete_attr_fn,
            int *win_keyval, void *extra_state)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_WIN_CREATE_KEYVAL(WIN_COPY_ATTR_FN, WIN_DELETE_ATTR_FN,
            WIN_KEYVAL, EXTRA_STATE, IERROR)
            EXTERNAL WIN_COPY_ATTR_FN, WIN_DELETE_ATTR_FN
            INTEGER WIN_KEYVAL, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) EXTRA_STATE

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       static int MPI::Win::Create_keyval(MPI::Win::Copy_attr_function*
            win_copy_attr_fn,
            MPI::Win::Delete_attr_function* win_delete_attr_fn,
            void* extra_state)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       win_copy_attr_fn
                 Copy callback function for win_keyval (function).

       win_delete_attr_fn
                 Delete callback function for win_keyval (function).

       extra_state
                 Extra state for callback functions.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       win_keyval
                 Key value for future access (integer).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The  argument win_copy_attr_fn may be specified as MPI_WIN_NULL_COPY_FN
       or MPI_WIN_DUP_FN from either C, C++, or Fortran.  MPI_WIN_NULL_COPY_FN
       is  a  function  that  serves  only to return flag = 0 and MPI_SUCCESS.
       MPI_WIN_DUP_FN is a simple-minded copy function that  sets  flag  =  1,
       returns the value of attribute_val_in in attribute_val_out, and returns
       MPI_SUCCESS.

       The    argument    win_delete_attr_fn    may    be     specified     as
       MPI_WIN_NULL_DELETE_FN    from    either    C,    C++,    or   Fortran.
       MPI_WIN_NULL_DELETE_FN  is  a  function  that  serves  only  to  return
       and

       typedef int MPI_Win_delete_attr_function(MPI_Win win, int win_keyval,
                    void *attribute_val, void *extra_state);

       The Fortran callback functions are:

       SUBROUTINE WIN_COPY_ATTR_FN(OLDWIN, WIN_KEYVAL, EXTRA_STATE,
            ATTRIBUTE_VAL_IN, ATTRIBUTE_VAL_OUT, FLAG, IERROR)
            INTEGER OLDWIN, WIN_KEYVAL, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) EXTRA_STATE, ATTRIBUTE_VAL_IN,
                 ATTRIBUTE_VAL_OUT
            LOGICAL FLAG

       and

       SUBROUTINE WIN_DELETE_ATTR_FN(WIN, WIN_KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL,
            EXTRA_STATE, IERROR)
            INTEGER WIN, WIN_KEYVAL, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) ATTRIBUTE_VAL, EXTRA_STATE

       The C++ callbacks are:

       typedef int MPI::Win::Copy_attr_function(const MPI::Win& oldwin,
            int win_keyval, void* extra_state, void* attribute_val_in,
            void* attribute_val_out, bool& flag);

       and

       typedef int MPI::Win::Delete_attr_function(MPI::Win& win, int win_keyval, void* attribute_val, void* extra_state);

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

       The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the EXTRA_STATE
       argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable
       syntax

            INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND EXTRA_STATE

       where  MPI_ADDRESS_KIND  is  a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the
       length of the declared integer in bytes.

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++ func-
       tions 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.

       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.
