C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       static void Request::Waitall(int count, Request array_of_requests[],
            Status array_of_statuses[])

       static void Request::Waitall(int count, Request array_of_requests[])

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Lists length (integer).

       array_of_requests
                 Array of requests (array of handles).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       array_of_statuses
                 Array of status objects (array of status).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Blocks  until  all  communication  operations  associated  with active handles in the list
       complete, and returns the status of all these operations (this includes the case where  no
       handle  in the list is active). Both arrays have the same number of valid entries. The ith
       entry in array_of_statuses is set to the return status of the ith operation. Requests that
       were   created   by   nonblocking   communication  operations  are  deallocated,  and  the
       corresponding handles in the array are set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL. The list may contain  null
       or inactive handles. The call sets to empty the status of each such entry.

       The  error-free  execution of MPI_Waitall(count, array_of_requests, array_of_statuses) has
       the    same    effect    as    the    execution     of      MPI_Wait(&array_of_request[i],
       &array_of_statuses[i]),  for i=0,...,count-1, in some arbitrary order. MPI_Waitall with an
       array of length 1 is equivalent to MPI_Wait.

       When one or more of the communications completed by a call  to  MPI_Waitall  fail,  it  is
       desirable  to  return specific information on each communication. The function MPI_Waitall
       will return in such case the error code MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS and will set the error field  of
       each  status  to  a  specific  error  code.  This code will be MPI_SUCCESS if the specific
       communication completed; it will be another specific error code if it failed; or it can be
       MPI_ERR_PENDING  if  it  has  neither  failed nor completed. The function MPI_Waitall will
       return MPI_SUCCESS if no request had an error, or will return another  error  code  if  it
       failed  for  other  reasons (such as invalid arguments). In such cases, it will not update
       the error fields of the statuses.

       If your application does not need to examine the array_of_statuses  field,  you  can  save
       resources  by  using  the predefined constant MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE can be used as a special
       value for the array_of_statuses argument.

ERRORS

       For each invocation of MPI_Waitall, if one or more requests  generate  an  MPI  exception,
       only  the  first  MPI request that caused an exception will be passed to its corresponding
       error handler.  No other error  handlers  will  be  invoked  (even  if  multiple  requests
       generated  exceptions).   However,  all  requests  that  generate an exception will have a
       relevant  error  code  set   in   the   corresponding   status.MPI_ERROR   field   (unless
       MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE was used).

       The  default  error  handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error
       handler  may  be  changed  with   MPI_Comm_set_errhandler,   MPI_File_set_errhandler,   or
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (depending  on  the  type  of  MPI  handle  that generated the MPI
       request); 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.

       If the invoked error handler allows  MPI_Waitall  to  return  to  the  caller,  the  value
       MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS  will  be  returned  in  the  C  and  Fortran  bindings.  In C++, if the
       predefined   error   handler   MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS    is    used,    the    value
       MPI::ERR_IN_STATUS  will  be  contained in the MPI::Exception object.  The MPI_ERROR field
       can then be examined in  the  array  of  returned  statuses  to  determine  exactly  which
       request(s) generated an exception.
