MPI_Type_create_hvector.openmpi: Creates a vector (strided) data type with offset in bytes.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_create_hvector(int count, int blocklength,
	MPI_Aint stride, MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HVECTOR(COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH, STRIDE, OLDTYPE,
	NEWTYPE, IERROR)

	INTEGER	COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR
	INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) STRIDE

C++ Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_hvector(int count,
	int blocklength, MPI::Aint stride) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

count: Number of blocks (nonnegative integer).
blocklength: Number of elements in each block (nonnegative integer).
stride: Number of bytes between start of each block (integer).
oldtype: Old data type (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

newtype: New data type (handle).
IERROR: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

MPI_Type_create_hvector creates a vector (strided) data type with offset in bytes.

NOTE - This routine replaces MPI_Type_hvector, which is deprecated. See the man page MPI_Type_hvector(3) for information about that routine.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the STRIDE argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax

     INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND STRIDE

where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

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.
