There are two version of probe (MPI_Probe and MPI_IProbe) but I can't
tell you off hand their details. I know when looking at them in the past
the basic understanding that I took away was the MPI_Probe is like
MPI_Test but it doesn't actually receive or deallocate the message.
From
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpi-standard/mpi-report-1.1/node50.htm
/The MPI_PROBE and MPI_IPROBE operations allow incoming messages to be
checked for, without actually receiving them. The user can then decide
how to receive them, based on the information returned by the probe
(basically, the information returned by status). In particular, the user
may allocate memory for the receive buffer, according to the length of
the probed message./

If an MPI_Irecv has already been posted, and a single message is sent
to the receiver, then will an MPI_Probe return that there is no
message waiting to be received? The message has already been received
by the MPI_Irecv. It's the MPI_Request object of the MPI_Irecv call
that needs to be probed, but MPI_Test has the side effect of also
deallocating the MPI_Request object.

Have you tried MPI_Probe?

Is there a function similar to MPI_Test that doesn't deallocate the
MPI_Request object? I would like to test if a message has been
received (MPI_Irecv), check its tag, and dispatch the MPI_Request to
another function based on that tag.
Cheers,
Shaun
