C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_indexed_block( int count,
            int blocklength, const int array_of_displacements[]) const

       MPI::Datatype MPI::Datatype::Create_hindexed_block( int count,
            int blocklength, const int array_of_displacements[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       count     Length of array of displacements (integer).

       blocklength
                 Size of block (integer).

       array_of_displacements
                 Array  of  displacements  (array  of  integers).  In  units  of  the  extent  of  oldtype   for
                 MPI_Type_create_indexed_block and bytes for MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block.

       oldtype   Old data type (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newtype   New data type (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block  and  MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block  create  an indexed data type with the
       same  block  length  for   all   blocks.   The   only   difference   between   the   two   functions   is
       MPI_Type_create_indexed_block  takes  an  array  of displacements in units of the extent of oldtype while
       MPI_Type_create_hindexed_block takes displacements in bytes.

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.
