NAME

MPI_Status_set_elements, MPI_Status_set_elements_x - Modifies opaque part of status to allow MPI_Get_elements to return count.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

  #include <mpi.h>
  int MPI_Status_set_elements(MPI_Status *status, MPI_Datatype datatype, int count)
  int MPI_Status_set_elements_x(MPI_Status *status, MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Count count)

Fortran Syntax

  USE MPI
  ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
  MPI_STATUS_SET_ELEMENTS(STATUS, DATATYPE, COUNT, IERROR)
  	INTEGER	STATUS(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), DATATYPE, COUNT, IERROR
  MPI_STATUS_SET_ELEMENTS_X(STATUS, DATATYPE, COUNT, IERROR)
  	INTEGER	STATUS(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), DATATYPE
          INTEGER(KIND=MPI_COUNT_KIND) COUNT
          INTEGER IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

  USE mpi_f08
  MPI_Status_set_elements(status, datatype, count, ierror)
  	TYPE(MPI_Status), INTENT(INOUT) :: status
  	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
  	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count
  	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
  MPI_Status_set_elements_x(status, datatype, count, ierror)
  	TYPE(MPI_Status), INTENT(INOUT) :: status
  	TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: datatype
  	INTEGER(KIND = MPI_COUNT_KIND), INTENT(IN) :: count
  	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax

  #include <mpi.h>
  void MPI::Status::Set_elements(const MPI::Datatype& datatype, int count)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

status
Status to associate with count (status).

INPUT PARAMETERS

datatype
Data type associated with count (handle).
count
Number of elements to associate with status (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

MPI_Status_set_elements modifies the opaque part of status so that a call to MPI_Get_elements or MPI_Get_elements_x will return count. MPI_Get_count will return a compatible value.

A subsequent call to MPI_Get_count(status, datatype, count), to MPI_Get_elements(status, datatype, count), or to MPI_Get_elements_x(status, datatype, count) must use a data-type argument that has the same type signature as the data-type argument that was used in the call to MPI_Status_set_elements.

NOTES

Users are advised not to reuse the status fields for values other than those for which they were intended. Doing so may lead to unexpected results when using the status object. For example, calling MPI_Get_elements may cause an error if the value is out of range, or it may be impossible to detect such an error. The extra_state argument provided with a generalized request can be used to return information that does not logically belong in status. Furthermore, modifying the values in a status set internally by MPI, such as MPI_Recv, may lead to unpredictable results and is strongly discouraged.

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++ 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.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

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

       INTEGER*MPI_COUNT_KIND COUNT

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