SYNTAXC Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_compare(MPI_Comm comm1, MPI_Comm comm2, int *result)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_COMPARE(COMM1, COMM2, RESULT, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM1, COMM2, RESULT, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
static int Comm::Compare(const Comm& comm1, const Comm& comm2)
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm1 Comm1 (handle).
comm2 Comm2 (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
result Result of comparison (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_IDENT results if and only if comm1 and comm2 are handles for the
same object (identical groups and same contexts). MPI_CONGRUENT results
if the underlying groups are identical in constituents and rank order;
these communicators differ only by context. MPI_SIMILAR results of the
group members of both communicators are the same but the rank order
differs. MPI_UNEQUAL results otherwise.
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.
