MPI_Win_free(3OpenMPI) MPI_Win_free(3OpenMPI)
NAME
MPI_Win_free - Frees the window object and returns a null handle.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Win_free(MPI_Win *win)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_WIN_FREE(WIN, IERROR)
INTEGER WIN, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Win::Free()
INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER
win Window object (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Win_free frees the window object win and returns a null handle
(equal to MPI_WIN_NULL). This collective call is executed by all pro-
cesses in the group associated with win. It can be invoked by a process
only after it has completed its involvement in RMA communications on
window win, that is, the process has called MPI_Win_fence, or called
MPI_Win_unlock to match a previous call to MPI_Win_lock. When the call
returns, the window memory can be freed.
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.
