NAME
MPI_Type_get_extent - Returns the lower bound and extent of a data
type.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_get_extent(MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Aint *lb,
MPI_Aint *extent)
Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_GET_EXTENT(DATATYPE, LB, EXTENT, IERROR)
INTEGER DATATYPE, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) LB, EXTENT
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Datatype::Get_extent(MPI::Aint& lb, MPI::Aint& extent)
const
INPUT PARAMETER
datatype Data type (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
lb Lower bound of data type (integer).
extent Data type extent (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_get_extent returns the lower bound and the extent of datatype.
NOTE
Use of MPI_Type_get_extent is strongly recommended over the old MPI-1
functions MPI_Type_extent and MPI_Type_lb.
FORTRAN 77 NOTES
The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the LB and
EXTENT arguments only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-
portable syntax
INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND LB
or
INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND EXTENT
where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the
length of the declared integer in bytes.
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.
