17.2.391.1.1. C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_create_resized(MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Aint lb,
MPI_Aint extent, MPI_Datatype *newtype)
17.2.391.1.2. Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_RESIZED(OLDTYPE, LB, EXTENT, NEWTYPE, IERROR)
INTEGER OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) LB, EXTENT
17.2.391.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Type_create_resized(oldtype, lb, extent, newtype, ierror)
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND), INTENT(IN) :: lb, extent
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: oldtype
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(OUT) :: newtype
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
17.2.391.2. INPUT PARAMETERS
oldtype
: Input data type (handle).lb
: New lower bound of data type (integer).extent
: New extent of data type (integer).
17.2.391.3. OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newtype
: Output data type (handle).ierror
: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
17.2.391.4. DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_create_resized returns in newtype a handle to a new data type that is identical to oldtype, except that the lower bound of this new data type is set to be lb, and its upper bound is set to be lb + extent. Any previous lb and ub markers are erased, and a new pair of lower bound and upper bound markers are put in the positions indicated by the lb and extent arguments. This affects the behavior of the data type when used in communication operations, with count > 1, and when used in the construction of new derived data types.
17.2.391.5. NOTE
Use of MPI_Type_create_resized is strongly recommended over the legacy MPI-1 functions MPI_Type_extent and MPI_Type_lb.
17.2.391.6. ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the return result of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler associated with the communication object (e.g., communicator, window, file) is called. If no communication object is associated with the MPI call, then the call is considered attached to MPI_COMM_SELF and will call the associated MPI error handler. When MPI_COMM_SELF is not initialized (i.e., before MPI_Init/MPI_Init_thread, after MPI_Finalize, or when using the Sessions Model exclusively) the error raises the initial error handler. The initial error handler can be changed by calling MPI_Comm_set_errhandler on MPI_COMM_SELF when using the World model, or the mpi_initial_errhandler CLI argument to mpiexec or info key to MPI_Comm_spawn/MPI_Comm_spawn_multiple. If no other appropriate error handler has been set, then the MPI_ERRORS_RETURN error handler is called for MPI I/O functions and the MPI_ERRORS_ABORT error handler is called for all other MPI functions.
Open MPI includes three predefined error handlers that can be used:
MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL
Causes the program to abort all connected MPI processes.MPI_ERRORS_ABORT
An error handler that can be invoked on a communicator, window, file, or session. When called on a communicator, it acts as if MPI_Abort was called on that communicator. If called on a window or file, acts as if MPI_Abort was called on a communicator containing the group of processes in the corresponding window or file. If called on a session, aborts only the local process.MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
Returns an error code to the application.
MPI applications can also implement their own error handlers by calling:
Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
