NAME

MPI_Win_set_info - Set new values for the hints of the window associated with win.

SYNOPSIS

int MPI_Win_set_info(MPI_Win win, MPI_Info info)

The call is collective on the group of win. The info object may be different on each process, but any info entries that an implementation requires to be the same on all processes must appear with the same value in each process' info object.

INPUT PARAMETERS

win: - window object (handle)
info: - info argument (handle)

NOTES

Some info items that an implementation can use when it creates a window cannot easily be changed once the window has been created. Thus, an implementation may ignore hints issued in this call that it would have accepted in a creation call.

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_WIN: - Invalid MPI window object
MPI_ERR_INFO: - Invalid Info
MPI_ERR_OTHER: - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
