MPI_Type_delete_attr(3)

NAME
MPI_Type_delete_attr - Deletes a datatype-caching attribute value associated with a key.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_delete_attr(MPI_Datatype type, int type_keyval)

Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TYPE_DELETE_ATTR(TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, IERROR)
	INTEGER	TYPE, TYPE_KEYVAL, IERROR

C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
void MPI::Datatype::Delete_attr(int type_keyval)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

type
    Data type from which the attribute is deleted (handle).n

INPUT PARAMETER

type_keyval
    Key value (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_Type_delete_attr deletes a datatype-caching attribute value associated with a key. This routines partially replaces MPI_Attr_delete, which is now deprecated.

NOTES
Note that it is not defined by the MPI standard what happens if the delete_fn callback invokes other MPI functions. In Open MPI, it is not valid for delete_fn callbacks (or any of their children) to add or delete attributes on the same object on which the delete_fn callback is being 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.
