NAME

       MPI_Comm_delete_attr - Deletes attribute value associated with a key.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_delete_attr(MPI_Comm comm, int comm_keyval)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_COMM_DELETE_ATTR(COMM, COMM_KEYVAL, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, COMM_KEYVAL, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Comm::Delete_attr(int comm_keyval)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       comm      Communicator from which the attribute is deleted (handle).

INPUT PARAMETER

       comm_keyval
                 Key value (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Comm_delete_attr  deletes  an attribute from cache by key. This function invokes the attribute delete
       function delete_fn specified when the comm_keyval was created.  The  call  will  fail  if  the  delete_fn
       function returns an error code other than MPI_SUCCESS.

       Whenever  a  communicator  is replicated using the function MPI_Comm_dup, all callback copy functions for
       attributes that are currently set are invoked (in arbitrary order). Whenever a  communicator  is  deleted
       using the function MPI_Comm_free, all callback delete functions for attributes that are currently set are
       invoked.

       This  function  is the same as MPI_Attr_delete but is needed to match the communicator-specific functions
       introduced in the MPI-2 standard. The use of MPI_Attr_delete is deprecated.

NOTES

       Note that it is not defined by the MPI standard what happens if the delete_fn callback invokes other  MPI
       functions.   In  Open  MPI,  it is not valid for delete_fn callbacks (or any of their children) to add or
       delete attributes on the same object on which the delete_fn callback is being invoked.

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.
