NAME

       MPI_Errhandler_create  - Creates an MPI-style error handler -- use of this routine is deprecated.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Errhandler_create(MPI_Handler_function *function,
            MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERRHANDLER_CREATE(FUNCTION, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            EXTERNAL  FUNCTION
            INTEGER   ERRHANDLER, IERROR

INPUT PARAMETER

       function  User-defined error handling procedure.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errhandler
                 MPI error handler (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use MPI_Comm_create_errhandler instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       Registers  the  user routine function for use as an MPI exception handler. Returns in errhandler a handle
       to the registered exception handler.

       In the C language, the user routine should be a C function of type MPI_Handler_function, which is defined
       as

           typedef void (MPI_Handler_function)(MPI_Comm *, int *, ...);

       The  first  argument  is  the communicator in use. The second is the error code to be returned by the MPI
       routine that raised the error. If the routine would have returned MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS, it is the error code
       returned  in  the  status  for  the  request  that  caused the error handler to be invoked. The remaining
       arguments are stdargs arguments whose number and meaning is implementation-dependent.  An  implementation
       should  clearly  document  these  arguments.  Addresses  are  used  so that the handler may be written in
       Fortran.

NOTE

       The MPI-1 Standard states that an implementation may  make  the  output  value  (errhandler)  simply  the
       address  of  the function. However, the action of MPI_Errhandler_ free makes this impossible, since it is
       required to set the value of the argument to MPI_ERRHANDLER_NULL. In addition, the actual  error  handler
       must remain until all communicators that use it are freed.

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.
