DESCRIPTION
The function MPI_Add_error_class creates a new, local error class.
NOTES
Because this function is local, the same value of errorclass may not be
returned on all processes that make this call, even if they call the
function concurrently. Thus, same error on different processes may not
cause the same value of errorclass to be returned. To reduce the poten‐
tial for confusion, MPI_Add_error_string may be used on multiple pro‐
cesses to associate the same error string with the newly created error‐
class. Even though errorclass may not be consistent across processes,
using MPI_Add_error_string will ensure the error string associated with
it will be the same everywhere.
No function is provided to free error classes, as it is not expected
that an application will create them in significant numbers.
The value returned is always greater than or equal to MPI_ERR_LASTCODE.
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.
