mpi.recv or mpi.irecv needs a buffer to store an incoming messenger and
must know in advance the size of the buffer. For mpi.irecv.Robj to work,
one needs to probe the incoming messenger size which is a block call. So
there is no point to implment mpi.irecv.Robj unless there is an another
nonblocking call to find the buffer size.

Hello,
in the package "Rmpi" (Version 0.5-5) I am missing the nonblocking function
"mpi.irecv.Robj".
Is there any reason for not having this function?
Best
Markus
