SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc(int cvar_index, void *obj_handle,
MPI_T_cvar_handle *handle, int *count)
int MPI_T_cvar_handle_free(MPI_T_cvar_handle *handle)
DESCRIPTION
MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc binds the control variable specified in cvar_index to the MPI object specified in
obj_handle. If MPI_T_cvar_get_info returns MPI_T_BIND_NO_OBJECT as the binding of the variable the
obj_handle argument is ignored. The number of values represented by this control variable is returned in
the count parameter. If the control variable represents a string then count will be the maximum length of
the string.
MPI_T_cvar_handle_free frees a handle allocated by MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc and sets the handle argument
to MPI_T_CVAR_HANDLE_NULL.
NOTES
Open MPI does not currently support binding MPI objects to control variables so the obj_handle argument
is always ignored.
ERRORS
MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc will fail if:
• MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED: The MPI Tools interface not initialized
• MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_INDEX: The control variable index is invalid
• MPI_T_ERR_OUT_OF_HANDLES: No more handles available
MPI_T_cvar_handle_free will fail if:
• MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED: The MPI Tools interface not initialized
• MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_HANDLE: The handle is invalid
