Hi, While working with multiple file source codes, what is the scope of the MPI derived data types. - I am trying to declare a derived data type for a complex struct containing dynamic arrays in main() function in a C code. - In a different function located in a seperate file, I am trying to use the data type for sending a struct using MPI_Send. The corresponding receive is again in a separate function which may or may not exist in the same file. However, it throws as error as it doesn't knows the declared data type outside main( ). How should the data type be declared to have it's scope anywhere in the code ? Is any derived data type declared valid anywhere in MPI_COMM_WORLD ?
