#include <mpi.h>

int MPI_Add_error_code(int errorclass, int *errorcode)

17.2.4.1.2. Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'

17.2.4.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Add_error_code(errorclass, errorcode, ierror)
     INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: errorclass
     INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: errorcode
     INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

17.2.4.2. INPUT PARAMETER

errorclass: MPI error class (integer).

17.2.4.3. OUTPUT PARAMETERS

errorcode: Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class (integer).
IERROR: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

17.2.4.4. DESCRIPTION

Creates a new error code associated with errorclass and returns its value in errorcode.

17.2.4.5. NOTES

No function is provided to free error codes, as it is not expected that an application will create them in significant numbers.

The value returned is always greater than or equal to MPI_ERR_LASTCODE.

17.2.4.6. ERRORS

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.

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.
