NAME¶

MPI_Win_test - Attempts to complete an RMA exposure epoch; a nonblocking version of MPI_Win_wait

SYNTAX¶

C Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Win_test(MPI_Win win, int *flag)

Fortran Syntax¶

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_WIN_TEST( WIN, FLAG, IERROR)
	INTEGER  WIN, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax¶

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Win_test(win, flag, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_Win), INTENT(IN) :: win
	LOGICAL, INTENT(OUT) :: flag
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
bool MPI::Win::Test() const

INPUT PARAMETERS¶

win

Window object (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

flag

The returning state of the test for epoch closure.

DESCRIPTION¶

MPI_Win_test is a one-sided MPI communication synchronization call, a nonblocking version of MPI_Win_wait. It returns flag = true if MPI_Win_wait would return, flag = false otherwise. The effect of return of MPI_Win_test with flag = true is the same as the effect of a return of MPI_Win_wait. If flag = false is returned, then the call has no visible effect.

Invoke MPI_Win_test only where MPI_Win_wait can be invoked. Once the call has returned flag = true, it must not be invoked anew, until the window is posted anew.

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_Win_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.
