NAME¶
MPI_Win_get_name - Get the name associated with a window
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <mpi.h>
int
MPI_Win_get_name(MPI_Win win, char *name, int *length)
- type
- - MPI window
OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶
- name
- - Name of the window
- length
- - Integer length of the resulting name
NOTES¶
This function returns the name of a window that was previously set with
MPI_Win_set_name . If a name was not previously associated with a
window, the returned string will be empty and
length will be 0. The
retuned name will be a maximum of
MPI_MAX_OBJECT_NAME characters long.
ERRORS¶
If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is called
to handle it. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error
handler may be changed with
MPI_Errhandler_set ; the predefined error
handler
MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be
returned (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less useful in with the C++
MPI bindings. The predefined error handler
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS
should be used in C++ if the error value needs to be recovered). Note that MPI
does
not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
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. The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error values; instead,
error values are communicated by throwing exceptions of type
MPI::Exception (but not by default). Exceptions are only thrown if the
error value is not
MPI::SUCCESS .
Note that if the
MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI
functions will return upon an error, there will be no way to recover what the
actual error value was.
- MPI_SUCCESS
- - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
- MPI_ERR_COMM
- - Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a
call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
- MPI_ERR_ARG
- - Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a
specific error class. This is typically a NULL pointer or other such
error.
