MPI_Comm_call_errhandler(3)

NAME
MPI_Comm_call_errhandler - Call the error handler installed on a communicator

SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Comm_call_errhandler(MPI_Comm comm, int errorcode)

INPUT PARAMETERS
comm
    - communicator with error handler (handle)
errorcode
    - error code (integer)

NOTE
Assuming the input parameters are valid, when the error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN, this routine will always return MPI_SUCCESS.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
This routine is thread and interrupt safe only if no MPI routine that updates or frees the same MPI object may be called concurrently with this routine. The MPI standard defined a thread-safe interface but this does not mean that all routines may be called without any thread locks. For example, two threads must not attempt to change the contents of the same MPI_Info object concurrently. The user is responsible in this case for using some mechanism, such as thread locks, to ensure that only one thread at a time makes use of this routine.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement. All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
MPI_SUCCESS
    - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
MPI_ERR_COMM
    - Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
