Synopsis

int MPI_Gatherv(void *sendbuf, int sendcnt, MPI_Datatype sendtype, 
                void *recvbuf, int *recvcnts, int *displs, 
                MPI_Datatype recvtype, int root, MPI_Comm comm)

Input Parameters

sendbuf

starting address of send buffer (choice)

sendcount

number of elements in send buffer (integer)

sendtype

data type of send buffer elements (handle)

recvcounts

integer array (of length group size) containing the number of elements that are received from each process (significant only at root)

displs

integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the displacement relative to recvbuf at which to place the incoming data from process i (significant only at root)

recvtype

data type of recv buffer elements (significant only at root) (handle)

root

rank of receiving process (integer)

comm

communicator (handle)

Output Parameter

recvbuf

address of receive buffer (choice, significant only at root)

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 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 guarentee 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_COMM

Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank).

MPI_ERR_TYPE

Invalid datatype argument. May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit).

MPI_ERR_BUFFER

Invalid buffer pointer. Usually a null buffer where one is not valid.
