NAME

MPI_Comm_create_errhandler − Creates an error handler that can be attached to communicators.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(MPI_Comm_errhandler_function *function,

MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_COMM_CREATE_ERRHANDLER(FUNCTION, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)

	EXTERNAL			FUNCTION
	INTEGER			ERRHANDLER, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(comm_errhandler_fn, errhandler, ierror)

	PROCEDURE(MPI_Comm_errhandler_function) :: comm_errhandler_fn
	TYPE(MPI_Errhandler), INTENT(OUT) :: errhandler
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

DEPRECATED TYPE NAME NOTE

MPI-2.2 deprecated the MPI_Comm_errhandler_fn and MPI::Comm::Errhandler_fn types in favor of MPI_Comm_errhandler_function and MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function, respectively. Open MPI supports both names (indeed, the _fn names are typedefs to the _function names).

INPUT PARAMETER

function

User-defined error handling procedure (function).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

errhandler

MPI error handler (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

MPI_Comm_create_errhandler creates an error handler that can be attached to communicators. This function is identical to MPI_Errhandler_create, the use of which is deprecated.

In C, the user routine should be a function of type MPI_Comm_errhandler_function, which is defined as

typedef void MPI_Comm_errhandler_function(MPI_Comm *, int *, ...);

The first argument is the communicator in use. The second is the error code to be returned by the MPI routine that raised the error. This typedef replaces MPI_Handler_function, the use of which is deprecated.

In Fortran, the user routine should be of this form:

SUBROUTINE COMM_ERRHANDLER_FUNCTION(COMM, ERROR_CODE, ...)
INTEGER COMM, ERROR_CODE

In C++, the user routine should be of this form:

typedef void MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function(MPI_Comm &, int *, ...);

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.
