MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(3)MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(3)NAMEMPI_Type_create_hindexed - Creates an indexed data type with offsets in
bytes
SYNOPSIS
C:
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Type_create_hindexed( count, blocklens, indices,
old_type, newtype )
int count;
int blocklens[];
MPI_Aint indices[];
MPI_Datatype old_type;
MPI_Datatype *newtype;
C++:
#include <mpi.h>
Datatype Datatype::Create_hindexed(
int count,
const intarray_of_blocklengths[],
const Aint array_of_displacements[]) const
Fortran:
INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)
INTEGER count, array_of_blocklengths(*), oldtype,
newtype, ierror
INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) array_of_displacements(*)
CALL MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(count,
array_of_blocklengths(*),
array_of_displacements(*), oldtype, newtype,
ierror)
DESCRIPTION
The MPI_Type_create_hindexed routine creates an indexed data type with
offsets in bytes. The MPI_Type_create_hindexed routine is an MPI-2
implementation replacing the MPI-1 MPI_Type_hindexed routine which has
been deprecated. This routine differs from the MPI-1 routine in that in
the Fortran implementation the array_of_displacements(*) argument is of
type MPI_ADDRESS_KIND, which makes it more suitable for ABI 64.
Currently, the Fortran version of this function is implemented only for
ABI 64. This routine accepts the following parameters:

MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(3)MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED(3)
count Specifies the number of blocks. Also specifies the number of
entries in indices and blocklens (integer)
blocklens Specifies the number of elements in each block (array of
nonnegative integers)
indices Specifies the byte displacement of each block (array of
integers)
old_type Specifies the old data type (handle)
newtype Returns the new data type (handle)
ierror Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
which is in MPI_SUCCESS. MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the mpif.h
file.
