Dear all, There are some collective communications with the possibility of terminating abnormally when MPI_IN_PLACE is specified. (MPI_Allgather/MPI_Allgatherv/MPI_Gather/MPI_Scatter) They refer to sdtype or rdtype (For MPI_Scatter) unconditionally by the consideration leakage of the MPI standard at MPI_IN_PLACE. It terminates abnormally when NULL is specified for a data type of the sending side or receiving side with which MPI_IN_PLACE is specifiable. e.g.) MPI_Allgather(MPI_IN_PLACE, scount, NULL, rbuf, rcount, recvdtype, ...);
- Functions which have this MPI_IN_PLACE problem:
Which data type: The sending side data type
It terminates abnormally when sdtype=NULL is specified at sbuf=MPI_IN_PLACE.
(sdtype must be ignored when sbuf = MPI_IN_PLACE.)
