INTEGER

TYPE, IERROR

CHARACTER*(*) TYPE_NAME

C++ Syntax

void MPI::Datatype::Set_name(const char* type_name)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

type Data type for which the identifier is to be set (handle).

Input Parameter

type_name The character string remembered as the name (string).

Output Parameter

IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).

Description

MPI_Type_set_name associates a printable identifier with an MPI data type.

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.
