MPI_Attr_put(3OpenMPI) MPI_Attr_put(3OpenMPI)
NAME
MPI_Attr_put - Stores attribute value associated with a key -- use of
this routine is deprecated.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Attr_put(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval, void *attribute_val)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_ATTR_PUT(COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Communicator to which attribute will be attached (handle).
keyval Key value, as returned by MPI_KEYVAL_CREATE (integer).
attribute_val
Attribute value.
OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use
MPI_Comm_set_attr instead.
This deprecated routine is not available in C++.
MPI_Attr_put stores the stipulated attribute value attribute_val for
subsequent retrieval by MPI_Attr_get. If the value is already present,
then the outcome is as if MPI_Attr_delete was first called to delete
the previous value (and the callback function delete_fn was executed),
and a new value was next stored. The call is erroneous if there is no
key with value keyval; in particular MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID is an erroneous
key value. The call will fail if the delete_fn function returned an
error code other than MPI_SUCCESS.
NOTES
Values of the permanent attributes MPI_TAG_UB, MPI_HOST, MPI_IO, and
MPI_WTIME_IS_GLOBAL may not be changed.
The type of the attribute value depends on whether C or Fortran is
being used. In C, an attribute value is a pointer (void *); in Fortran,
it is a single integer (not a pointer, since Fortran has no pointers
and there are systems for which a pointer does not fit in an integer,
e.g., any 32-bit address system that uses 64 bits for Fortran DOUBLE
PRECISION).
If an attribute is already present, the delete function (specified when
the corresponding keyval was created) will be called.
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++ func-
tions 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.
