DESCRIPTION
Handles are passed between Fortran and C or C++ by using an explicit C
wrapper to convert Fortran handles to C handles. There is no direct ac-
cess to C or C++ handles in Fortran. Handles are passed between C and
C++ using overloaded C++ operators called from C++ code. There is no
direct access to C++ objects from C. The type definition MPI_Fint is
provided in C/C++ for an integer of the size that matches a Fortran IN-
TEGER; usually, MPI_Fint will be equivalent to int. The handle transla-
tion functions are provided in C to convert from a Fortran handle
(which is an integer) to a C handle, and vice versa.
For example, if comm is a valid Fortran handle to a communicator, then
MPI_Comm_f2c returns a valid C handle to that same communicator; if
comm = MPI_COMM_NULL (Fortran value), then MPI_Comm_f2c returns a null
C handle; if comm is an invalid Fortran handle, then MPI_Comm_f2c re-
turns an invalid C handle.
NOTE
This function does not return an error value. Consequently, the result
of calling it before MPI_Init or after MPI_Finalize is undefined.
