MPI_Type_hindexed - Creates an indexed datatype with offsets in
bytes -- use of this routine is deprecated.
#include <mpi.h>

MPI_Aint *array_of_displacements, MPI_Datatype oldtype,

- count
- Number of blocks -- also number of entries in array_of_displacements
and array_of_blocklengths (integer).
- array_of_blocklengths
- Number of elements
in each block (array of nonnegative integers).
- array_of_displacements
- Byte
displacement of each block (C: array of MPI_Aint, Fortran: array of integer).
- oldtype
- Old datatype (handle).
- newtype
- New datatype (handle).
- IERROR
- Fortran only: Error status (integer).
Note that use of
this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Use MPI_Type_create_hindexed instead.
This deprecated routine is not available in C++.
The function 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_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]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[0]),...,
(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]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1]),...,
(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)}
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.
