NAME
MPI_Type_create_hindexed - Creates an indexed data type with offsets in
bytes.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_create_hindexed(int count, int array_of_blocklengths,
MPI_Aint array_of_displacements[], MPI_Datatype oldtype,
MPI_Datatype *newtype)
Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS,
ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR)
INTEGER COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS(*), OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*)
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_hindexed(int count,
const int array_of_blocklengths,
const MPI::Aint array_of_displacements[]) const
INPUT PARAMETERS
count Number of blocks (nonnegative integer).
array_of_blocklengths
Number of elements in each block (array of nonnegative inte-
gers).
array_of_displacements
Byte displacement of each block (array of integers).
oldtype Old data type (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newtype New data type (handle).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_create_hindexed is identical to MPI_Type_indexed, except that
block displacements in array_of_displacements are specified in bytes,
rather than in multiples of the oldtype extent.
Assume that oldtype has type map
{(type(0), disp(0)), ..., (type(n-1), disp(n-1))},
with extent ex. Let B be the array_of_blocklengths argument and D be
the array_of_displacements argument. The newly created data type has
(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1] + (B[count-1] -1)* ex)}
NOTE - This routine replaces MPI_Type_hindexed, which is deprecated.
See the man page MPI_Type_hindexed(3) for information about that rou-
tine.
FORTRAN 77 NOTES
The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the
ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*) argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77
users may use the non-portable syntax
INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*)
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.
See the MPI(3) man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
