array_of_requests
Array of requests (array of handles).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
array_of_statuses
Array of status objects (array of status).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
Blocks until all communication operations associated with active han‐
dles in the list complete, and returns the status of all these opera‐
tions (this includes the case where no handle in the list is active).
Both arrays have the same number of valid entries. The ith entry in
array_of_statuses is set to the return status of the ith operation.
Requests that were created by nonblocking communication operations are
deallocated, and the corresponding handles in the array are set to
MPI_REQUEST_NULL. The list may contain null or inactive handles. The
call sets to empty the status of each such entry.
The error-free execution of MPI_Waitall(count, array_of_requests,
array_of_statuses) has the same effect as the execution of
MPI_Wait(&array_of_request[i], &array_of_statuses[i]), for
i=0,...,count-1, in some arbitrary order. MPI_Waitall with an array of
length 1 is equivalent to MPI_Wait.
When one or more of the communications completed by a call to MPI_Wait‐
all fail, it is desirable to return specific information on each commu‐
nication. The function MPI_Waitall will return in such case the error
code MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS and will set the error field of each status to a
specific error code. This code will be MPI_SUCCESS if the specific com‐
munication completed; it will be another specific error code if it
failed; or it can be MPI_ERR_PENDING if it has neither failed nor com‐
pleted. The function MPI_Waitall will return MPI_SUCCESS if no request
had an error, or will return another error code if it failed for other
reasons (such as invalid arguments). In such cases, it will not update
the error fields of the statuses.
If your application does not need to examine the array_of_statuses
field, you can save resources by using the predefined constant MPI_STA‐
TUSES_IGNORE can be used as a special value for the array_of_statuses
argument.
ERRORS
For each invocation of MPI_Waitall, if one or more requests generate an
MPI exception, only the first MPI request that caused an exception will
be passed to its corresponding error handler. No other error handlers
will be invoked (even if multiple requests generated exceptions). How‐
ever, all requests that generate an exception will have a relevant
error code set in the corresponding status.MPI_ERROR field (unless
MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE was used).
The default error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function
errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler,
MPI_File_set_errhandler, or MPI_Win_set_errhandler (depending on the
type of MPI handle that generated the MPI request); 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 con‐
tinue past an error.
If the invoked error handler allows MPI_Waitall to return to the call‐
er, the value MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS will be returned in the C and Fortran
bindings. In C++, if the predefined error handler
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS is used, the value MPI::ERR_IN_STATUS will
be contained in the MPI::Exception object. The MPI_ERROR field can
then be examined in the array of returned statuses to determine exactly
which request(s) generated an exception.
