NAME

       MPI_Attr_delete - Deletes attribute value associated with a key -- use of this routine is deprecated.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Attr_delete(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ATTR_DELETE(COMM, KEYVAL, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, KEYVAL, IERROR

INPUT PARAMETERS

       comm      Communicator to which attribute is attached (handle).

       keyval    The key value of the deleted attribute (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

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

       Delete  attribute  from  cache  by  key.  This  function  invokes the attribute delete function delete_fn
       specified when the keyval was created. The call will fail if the delete_fn function returns an error code
       other than MPI_SUCCESS.

       Whenever a communicator is replicated using the function MPI_Comm_dup, all callback  copy  functions  for
       attributes  that  are  currently set are invoked (in arbitrary order). Whenever a communicator is deleted
       using the function MPI_Comm_free, all callback delete functions for attributes that are currently set are
       invoked.

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.
