18.2.386. MPI_Type_create_struct
MPI_Type_create_struct - Creates a structured data type.
18.2.386.1. SYNTAX
18.2.386.1.1. C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_create_struct(int count, int array_of_blocklengths[],
const MPI_Aint array_of_displacements[], const MPI_Datatype array_of_types[],
MPI_Datatype *newtype)
18.2.386.1.2. Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_STRUCT(COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS,
ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS, ARRAY_OF_TYPES, NEWTYPE, IERROR)
INTEGER COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS(*), ARRAY_OF_TYPES(*),
INTEGER NEWTYPE, IERROR
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*)
18.2.386.1.3. Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Type_create_struct(count, array_of_blocklengths,
array_of_displacements, array_of_types, newtype, ierror)
INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count, array_of_blocklengths(count)
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND), INTENT(IN) ::
array_of_displacements(count)
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(IN) :: array_of_types(count)
TYPE(MPI_Datatype), INTENT(OUT) :: newtype
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
18.2.386.2. INPUT PARAMETERS
count
: Number of blocks (integer) – also number of entries in arrays array_of_types, array_of_displacements, and array_of_blocklengths.array_of_blocklengths
: Number of elements in each block (array of integers).array_of_displacements
: Byte displacement of each block (array of integers).array_of_types
: Type of elements in each block (array of handles to data-type objects).
18.2.386.3. OUTPUT PARAMETERS
newtype
: New data type (handle).IERROR
: Fortran only: Error status (integer).
18.2.386.4. DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_create_struct creates a structured data type. This routine replaces MPI_Type_struct, which is now deprecated.
NOTE - This routine replaces MPI_Type_struct, which is deprecated. See the man page MPI_Type_struct for information about that routine.
18.2.386.5. FORTRAN 77 NOTES
The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*) argument only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax
INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*)
where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.
18.2.386.6. ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.
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.
