MPI_Testany(3)

NAME
MPI_Testany - Tests for completion of any previdously initiated requests

SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Testany(int count, MPI_Request array_of_requests[], int *indx,
int *flag, MPI_Status *status)

INPUT PARAMETERS
count
    - count (non-negative integer)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS
array_of_requests
    - array of requests (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
indx
    - index of operation that completed or MPI_UNDEFINED if none completed (integer)
flag
    - true if one of the operations is complete (logical)
status
    - status object (Status)

NOTES
While it is possible to list a request handle more than once in the array_of_requests , such an action is considered erroneous and may cause the program to unexecpectedly terminate or produce incorrect results.

NOTES ON THE MPI_STATUS ARGUMENT
The MPI_ERROR field of the status return is only set if the return from the MPI routine is MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS . That error class is only returned by the routines that take an array of status arguments ( MPI_Testall , MPI_Testsome , MPI_Waitall , and MPI_Waitsome ). In all other cases, the value of the MPI_ERROR field in the status is unchanged. See section 3.2.5 in the MPI-1.1 specification for the exact text. For send operations, the only use of status is for MPI_Test_cancelled or in the case that there is an error in one of the four routines that may return the error class MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS , in which case the MPI_ERROR field of status will be set. In that case, the value will be set to MPI_SUCCESS for any send or receive operation that completed successfully, or MPI_ERR_PENDING for any operation which has neither failed nor completed.

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_COUNT
    - Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is often valid.
MPI_ERR_REQUEST
    - Invalid MPI_Request . Either null or, in the case of a MPI_Start or MPI_Startall , not a persistent request.
MPI_ERR_OTHER
    - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
