C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_indexed_block( int count,
            int blocklength, const int array_of_displacements[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Length of array of displacements (integer).

       blocklength
                 Size of block (integer).

       array_of_displacements
                 Array   of  displacements  (array  of  integers).  In  units  of  the  extent  of  oldtype  for
                 MPI_Type_create_indexed_block and bytes for MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block.

       oldtype   Old data type (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newtype   New data type (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block and MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block create an indexed  data  type  with  the
       same   block   length   for   all   blocks.   The   only   difference   between   the  two  functions  is
       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block takes an array of displacements in units of the  extent  of  oldtype  while
       MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block takes displacements 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.
