NAME

       MPI_Type_hindexed  -  Creates  an  indexed  datatype  with  offsets  in  bytes  -- use of this routine is
       deprecated.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_hindexed(int count, int *array_of_blocklengths,
            MPI_Aint *array_of_displacements, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
            MPI_Datatype *newtype)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_HINDEXED(COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS,
                 ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS(*)
            INTEGER   ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*), OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE
            INTEGER   IERROR

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Number of blocks -- also number of entries in array_of_displacements  and array_of_blocklengths
                 (integer).

       array_of_blocklengths
                 Number of elements in each block (array of nonnegative integers).

       array_of_displacements
                 Byte displacement of each block (C: array of MPI_Aint, Fortran: array of integer).

       oldtype   Old datatype (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newtype   New datatype (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Use MPI_Type_create_hindexed instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       The  function is identical to MPI_Type_indexed, except that block displacements in array_of_displacements
       are specified in bytes, rather than in multiples of the oldtype extent.

       Assume that oldtype has type map

           {(type(0), disp(0)), ..., (type(n-1), disp(n-1))},

       with extent ex. Let B be the array_of_blocklength argument and D be the array_of_displacements  argument.
       The newly created datatype has
       n x S^count-1
           (i=0)        B[i]  entries:

         {(type(0), disp(0) + D[0]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[0]),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) + (D[0] + B[0]-1)* ex),...,
         type(n-1), disp(n-1) + (D[0]+ B[0]-1)* ex),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) + D[count-1]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1]),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) +  D[count-1] + (B[count-1] -1)* ex),...,
         (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1] + (B[count-1] -1)* ex)}

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.
