NAME

       MPI_Op_commutative -  Queries an MPI reduction operation for its commutativity

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Op_commutative(MPI_Op op, int *commute)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       op     - operation (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       commute
              - true if op is commutative, false otherwise (logical)

NULL HANDLES

       The  MPI  1.1  specification,  in  the  section  on  opaque  objects, explicitly disallows freeing a null
       communicator.  The text from the standard is:
       A null handle argument is an erroneous IN argument in MPI calls, unless an
       exception is explicitly stated in the text that defines the function. Such
       exception is allowed for handles to request objects in Wait and Test calls
       (sections Communication Completion and Multiple Completions ). Otherwise, a
       null handle can only be passed to a function that allocates a new object and
       returns a reference to it in the handle.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without
       the  need  for  any  user-provided thread locks.  However, the routine is not interrupt safe.  Typically,
       this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH  runtime  routines
       that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the
       end of the argument list.  ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
       in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

       All  MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the
       function and Fortran routines in the last argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI  error
       handler  is called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may be changed
       with   MPI_Comm_set_errhandler   (for   communicators),   MPI_File_set_errhandler   (for   files),    and
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (for  RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use
       is deprecated.  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; however, MPI
       implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified  by  a  specific  error  class
              (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_OP
              -  Invalid  operation.   MPI  operations  (objects  of  type  MPI_Op  )  must either be one of the
              predefined operations (e.g., MPI_SUM ) or created with MPI_Op_create .

       MPI_ERR_OTHER
              - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
