NAME

       MPI_Comm_create_errhandler  - Creates an error handler that can be attached to communicators.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_create_errhandler(MPI_Comm_errhandler_function *function,
            MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

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

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       static MPI::Errhandler
            MPI::Comm::Create_errhandler(MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function*
            function)

DEPRECATED TYPE NAME NOTE

       MPI-2.2   deprecated   the   MPI_Comm_errhandler_fn   and  MPI::Comm::Errhandler_fn  types  in  favor  of
       MPI_Comm_errhandler_function and MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function, respectively.  Open  MPI  supports  both
       names (indeed, the _fn names are typedefs to the _function names).

INPUT PARAMETER

       function  User-defined error handling procedure (function).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errhandler
                 MPI error handler (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Comm_create_errhandler  creates an error handler that can be attached to communicators. This function
       is identical to MPI_Errhandler_create, the use of which is deprecated.

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

           typedef void MPI_Comm_errhandler_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.  This  typedef  replaces  MPI_Handler_function,  the  use  of which is
       deprecated.

       In Fortran, the user routine should be of this form:

           SUBROUTINE COMM_ERRHANDLER_FUNCTION(COMM, ERROR_CODE, ...)
               INTEGER COMM, ERROR_CODE

       In C++, the user routine should be of this form:

           typedef void MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function(MPI_Comm &, int *, ...);

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.
