DESCRIPTION
The send-receive operations combine in one call the sending of a mes-
sage to one destination and the receiving of another message, from an-
other process. The two (source and destination) are possibly the same.
A send-receive operation is useful for executing a shift operation
across a chain of processes. If blocking sends and receives are used
for such a shift, then one needs to order the sends and receives cor-
rectly (for example, even processes send, then receive; odd processes
receive first, then send) in order to prevent cyclic dependencies that
may lead to deadlock. When a send-receive operation is used, the commu-
nication subsystem takes care of these issues. The send-receive opera-
tion can be used in conjunction with the functions described in Chapter
6 of the MPI Standard, "Process Topologies," in order to perform shifts
on various logical topologies. Also, a send-receive operation is useful
for implementing remote procedure calls.
A message sent by a send-receive operation can be received by a regular
receive operation or probed by a probe operation; a send-receive opera-
tion can receive a message sent by a regular send operation.
MPI_Sendrecv_replace executes a blocking send and receive. The same
buffer is used both for the send and for the receive, so that the mes-
sage sent is replaced by the message received.
The semantics of a send-receive operation is what would be obtained if
the caller forked two concurrent threads, one to execute the send, and
one to execute the receive, followed by a join of these two threads.
ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
tions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.
Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with
MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does
not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
