Name

MPI_Testall - Tests for the completion of all previously initiated communications in a list.

Syntax

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Testall(int count, MPI_Request array_of_requests[],
 int *flag, MPI_Status array_of_statuses[])

Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_TESTALL(COUNT, ARRAY_OF_REQUESTS, FLAG, ARRAY_OF_STATUSES,
  IERROR)
 LOGICAL FLAG
 INTEGER COUNT, ARRAY_OF_REQUESTS(*)
 INTEGER ARRAY_OF_STATUSES(MPI_STATUS_SIZE,*), IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Testall(count, array_of_requests, flag, array_of_statuses, ierror)
 INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count
 TYPE(MPI_Request), INTENT(INOUT) :: array_of_requests(count)
 LOGICAL, INTENT(OUT) :: flag
 TYPE(MPI_Status) :: array_of_statuses(*)
 INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

Input Parameters

count

Lists length (integer).

array_of_requests

Array of requests (array of handles).

Output Parameters

flag

True if previously initiated communications are complete (logical.)

array_of_statuses

Array of status objects (array of status).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

Description

Returns flag = true if all communications associated with active handles in the array have completed (this includes the case where no handle in the list is active). In this case, each status entry that corresponds to an active handle request is set to the status of the corresponding communication; if the request was allocated by a nonblocking communication call then it is deallocated, and the handle is set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL. Each status entry that corresponds to a null or inactive handle is set to empty.

Otherwise, flag = false is returned, no request is modified and the values of the status entries are undefined. This is a local operation.

If your application does not need to examine the array_of_statuses field, you can save resources by using the predefined constant MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE can be used as a special value for the array_of_statuses argument.

Errors that occurred during the execution of MPI_Testall are handled in the same manner as errors in MPI_Waitall.

Note

flag is true only if all requests have completed. Otherwise, flag is false, and neither array_of_requests nor array_of_statuses is modified.

Errors

For each invocation of MPI_Testall, if one or more requests generate an MPI exception, only the first MPI request that caused an exception will be passed to its corresponding error handler. No other error handlers will be invoked (even if multiple requests generated exceptions). However, all requests that generate an exception will have a relevant error code set in the corresponding status.MPI_ERROR field (unless MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE was used).

The default error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler, MPI_File_set_errhandler, or MPI_Win_set_errhandler (depending on the type of MPI handle that generated the MPI request); 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.

If the invoked error handler allows MPI_Testall to return to the caller, the value MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS will be returned in the C and Fortran bindings. In C++, if the predefined error handler MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS is used, the value MPI::ERR_IN_STATUS will be contained in the MPI::Exception object. The MPI_ERROR field can then be examined in the array of returned statuses to determine exactly which request(s) generated an exception.
