count Number of blocks -- also number of entries in array_of_displacements
and array_of_blocklengths (nonnegative integer). array_of_blocklengths Number
of elements per block (array of nonnegative integers). array_of_displacements
Displacement for each block, in multiples of oldtype extent for MPI_Type_indexed
and bytes for MPI_Type_create_hindexed (array of integer for MPI_TYPE_INDEXED,
array of MPI_Aint for MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED). oldtype Old datatype (handle).
 
The function MPI_Type_indexed allows replication
of an old datatype into a sequence of blocks (each block is a concatenation
of the old datatype), where each block can contain a different number of
copies and have a different displacement. All block displacements are multiples
of the old data type’s extent.newtype New datatype (handle). IERROR Fortran only: Error
status (integer).
  
  Example: Let oldtype have type map {(double,
0), (char, 8)}, with extent 16. Let  B = (3, 1) and let D = (4, 0).  A call
to MPI_Type_indexed(2, B, D, oldtype, newtype) returns a datatype with
type map  
     {(double, 64), (char, 72), (double, 80), (char, 88),
    (double, 96), (char, 104),
    (double, 0), (char, 8)}
That is, three copies of the old type starting at displacement 4 x 16 =
64, and one copy starting at displacement 0.  
In general, 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_blocklength argument and D be the
array_of_displacements argument. The newly created datatype has 
 
 n x S ^count-1
    i = 0           B[i]  entries:
    {(type(0), disp(0) + D[0]* ex), ...,
    (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[0]* ex), ...,
    (type(0), disp(0) + (D[0] + B[0]-1)* ex), ...,
    (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + (D[0]+ B[0]-1)* ex), ...,
    (type(0), disp(0) + D[count-1]* ex), ...,
    (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1]* ex), ...,
    (type(0), disp(0) +  (D[count-1] + B[count-1] -1)* ex), ...,
    (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + (D[count-1] + B[count-1] -1)* ex)}
A call to MPI_Type_vector(count, blocklength, stride, oldtype, newtype)
is equivalent to a call to MPI_Type_indexed(count, B, D, oldtype, newtype)
where  
     D[j] = j * stride, j = 0,..., count-1
and
    B[j] = blocklength, j = 0, .., count-1
 The function 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.
 
Almost
all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the
function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ functions 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.
