Disclaimer: this is for trunk svn up'ed yesterday. The code below should fail with ERR_COMM, but it succeed...
#include <mpi.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int *value, flag; MPI_Init(NULL, NULL); MPI_Comm_get_attr(MPI_COMM_NULL, MPI_TAG_UB, &value, &flag); MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } Additionally, this is really not a bug, but I'll comment about it anyway (I think I've commented about this some time ago)... I would expect the two codes below to fail with MPI_ERR_KEYVAL, but they fail with MPI_ERR_OTHER... #include <mpi.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int *value, flag; MPI_Init(NULL, NULL); MPI_Comm_get_attr(MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID, &value, &flag); MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } #include <mpi.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { MPI_Win win; int *value, flag; MPI_Init(NULL, NULL); MPI_Win_create(MPI_BOTTOM, 0, 1, MPI_INFO_NULL, MPI_COMM_SELF, &win); MPI_Win_get_attr(win, MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID, &value, &flag); MPI_Win_free(&win); MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594
