NAME

       MPI_Type_create_hvector - Creates a vector (strided) data type with offset in bytes.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_create_hvector(int count, int blocklength,
            MPI_Aint stride, MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Datatype *newtype)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HVECTOR(COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH, STRIDE, OLDTYPE,
            NEWTYPE, IERROR)

            INTEGER   COUNT, BLOCKLENGTH, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR
            INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) STRIDE

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_hvector(int count,
            int blocklength, MPI::Aint stride) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Number of blocks (nonnegative integer).

       blocklength
                 Number of elements in each block (nonnegative integer).

       stride    Number of bytes between start of each block (integer).

       oldtype   Old data type (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newtype   New data type (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Type_create_hvector creates a vector (strided) data type with offset in bytes.

       NOTE  -  This  routine  replaces  MPI_Type_hvector,  which is deprecated. See the man page
       MPI_Type_hvector(3) for information about that routine.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES

       The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax  for  the  STRIDE  argument  only  for
       Fortran 90.  FORTRAN 77 users may use the non-portable syntax

            INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND STRIDE

       where  MPI_ADDRESS_KIND  is  a  constant  defined  in  mpif.h  and gives the length of the
       declared integer in bytes.

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.
