MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(3OpenMPI)                                    MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(3OpenMPI)



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


SYNTAX
C Syntax

       int MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(MPI_Comm_errhandler_fn *function,
            MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_COMM_CREATE_ERRHANDLER(FUNCTION, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            EXTERNAL  FUNCTION
            INTEGER   ERRHANDLER, IERROR


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       static MPI::Errhandler
            MPI::Comm::Create_errhandler(MPI::Comm::Errhandler_fn*
            function)


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 func-tion function
       tion 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_fn, which is defined as

           typedef void MPI_Comm_errhandler_fn(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 depre-cated. deprecated.
       cated.

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

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

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

           typedef void MPI::Comm::Errhandler_fn(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.
