MPI_Errhandler_free(3) Frees an MPI-style error handler.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Errhandler_free(MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_ERRHANDLER_FREE(ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
        INTEGER ERRHANDLER, IERROR 

C++ Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
void Errhandler::Free() 

INPUT PARAMETER

errhandler
MPI error handler (handle). Set to MPI_ERRHANDLER_NULL on exit.

OUTPUT PARAMETER

IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

Marks the error handler associated with errhandler for deallocation and sets errhandler to MPI_ERRHANDLER_NULL. The error handler will be deallocated after all communicators associated with it have been deallocated.

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.
