NAME

       MPI_Type_hindexed  -  Creates  an  indexed  datatype  with offsets in bytes -- use of this
       routine is deprecated.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       int MPI_Type_hindexed(int count, int *array_of_blocklengths,
            MPI_Aint *array_of_displacements, MPI_Datatype oldtype,
            MPI_Datatype *newtype)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_HINDEXED(COUNT, ARRAY_OF_BLOCKLENGTHS,
                 ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS, OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE, IERROR)

            INTEGER   ARRAY_OF_DISPLACEMENTS(*), OLDTYPE, NEWTYPE
            INTEGER   IERROR

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Number of blocks --  also  number  of  entries  in  array_of_displacements   and
                 array_of_blocklengths  (integer).

       array_of_blocklengths
                 Number of elements in each block (array of nonnegative integers).

       array_of_displacements
                 Byte displacement of each block (array of integer).

       oldtype   Old datatype (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newtype   New datatype (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Note  that  use  of  this  routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Use MPI_Type_create_hindexed
       instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       The function  is  identical  to  MPI_Type_indexed,  except  that  block  displacements  in
       array_of_displacements  are  specified  in  bytes, rather than in multiples of the oldtype
       extent.

       Assume that oldtype has type map

           {(type(0), disp(0)), ..., (type(n-1), disp(n-1))},

       with  extent  ex.  Let  B  be   the   array_of_blocklength   argument   and   D   be   the
       array_of_displacements argument. The newly created datatype has
       n x S^count-1
           (i=0)        B[i]  entries:

         {(type(0), disp(0) + D[0]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[0]),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) + (D[0] + B[0]-1)* ex),...,
         type(n-1), disp(n-1) + (D[0]+ B[0]-1)* ex),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) + D[count-1]),...,(type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1]),...,
         (type(0), disp(0) +  D[count-1] + (B[count-1] -1)* ex),...,
         (type(n-1), disp(n-1) + D[count-1] + (B[count-1] -1)* ex)}

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.
