C++ Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
Prequest Comm::Recv_init(void* buf, int count, const
	Datatype& datatype, int source, int tag) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

count

Maximum number of elements to receive (integer).

datatype

Type of each entry (handle).

source

Rank of source (integer).

tag

Message tag (integer).

comm

Communicator (handle).

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

buf

Initial address of receive buffer (choice).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

request

Communication request (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

Creates a persistent communication request for a receive operation. The argument buf is marked as OUT because the user gives permission to write on the receive buffer by passing the argument to MPI_Recv_init.

A persistent communication request is inactive after it is created -- no active communication is attached to the request.

A communication (send or receive) that uses a persistent request is initiated by the function MPI_Start or MPI_Startall.

ERRORS

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.
