# MPI_Sendrecv_replace

Sends and receives using a single buffer

## Synopsis

    int MPI_Sendrecv_replace(void *buf, int count, MPI_Datatype datatype, int dest,
                             int sendtag, int source, int recvtag, MPI_Comm comm,
                             MPI_Status *status)

    int MPI_Sendrecv_replace_c(void *buf, MPI_Count count, MPI_Datatype datatype,
                               int dest, int sendtag, int source, int recvtag,
                               MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Status *status)

## Input Parameters

count
  number of elements in send and receive buffer (non-negative integer)
datatype
  type of elements in send and receive buffer (handle)
dest
  rank of destination (integer)
sendtag
  send message tag (integer)
source
  rank of source or MPI_ANY_SOURCE (integer)
recvtag
  receive message tag or MPI_ANY_TAG (integer)
comm
  communicator (handle)

## Input/Output Parameters

buf
  initial address of send and receive buffer (choice)

## Output Parameters

status
  status object (Status)

## Thread and Interrupt Safety

This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as `malloc` or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

## Notes for Fortran

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for `MPI_WTIME` and `MPI_WTICK`) have an additional argument `ierr` at the end of the argument list. `ierr` is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the `call` statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., `MPI_Datatype`, `MPI_Comm`) are of type `INTEGER` in Fortran.

## Errors

All MPI routines (except `MPI_Wtime` and `MPI_Wtick`) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with `MPI_Comm_set_errhandler` (for communicators), `MPI_File_set_errhandler` (for files), and `MPI_Win_set_errhandler` (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine `MPI_Errhandler_set` may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

MPI_SUCCESS
  No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

MPI_ERR_ARG
  Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., `MPI_ERR_RANK`).

MPI_ERR_BUFFER
  Invalid buffer pointer. Usually a null buffer where one is not valid.

MPI_ERR_COMM
  Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even allowed in `MPI_Comm_rank`).

MPI_ERR_COUNT
  Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is often valid.

MPI_ERR_RANK
  Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive (`MPI_Recv`, `MPI_Irecv`, `MPI_Sendrecv`, etc.) may also be `MPI_ANY_SOURCE`.

MPI_ERR_TAG
  Invalid tag argument. Tags must be non-negative; tags in a receive (`MPI_Recv`, `MPI_Irecv`, `MPI_Sendrecv`, etc.) may also be `MPI_ANY_TAG`. The largest tag value is available through the the attribute `MPI_TAG_UB`.

MPI_ERR_TYPE
  Invalid datatype argument. Additionally, this error can occur if an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see `MPI_Type_commit`) is used in a communication call.

MPI_ERR_OTHER
  Other error; use `MPI_Error_string` to get more information about this error code.
