MPI_Type_ub(3OpenMPI)													     MPI_Type_ub(3OpenMPI)

NAME

       MPI_Type_ub  -  Returns the upper bound of a datatype. This will differ from zero if the type was constructed using MPI_UB. The upper bound
       will take into account any alignment considerations. Use of this routine is deprecated.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_ub(MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Aint *displacement)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_UB(DATATYPE, DISPLACEMENT, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   DATATYPE, DISPLACEMENT, IERROR

INPUT PARAMETER

       datatype  Datatype (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       displacement
		 Displacement of upper bound from origin, in bytes (integer).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use MPI_Type_get_extent instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       MPI_Type_ub returns the lower bound of a data type.

       The "pseudo-datatypes," MPI_LB and MPI_UB, can be used, respectively, to mark the upper bound (or the lower bound)  of  a  datatype.  These
       pseudo-datatypes  occupy  no  space  (extent  (MPI_LB) = extent (MPI_UB) =0. They do not affect the size or count of a datatype, and do not
       affect the context of a message created with this datatype. However, they do affect the definition of the extent of a datatype and,  there-
       fore, affect the outcome of a replication of this datatype by a datatype constructor.

       In general, if

	   Typemap = {(type(0), disp(0)), ..., (type(n-1), disp(n-1))}

       then the lower bound of Typemap is defined to be

			 (min(j) disp(j)			  if no entry has
	   lb(Typemap) = (					  basic type lb
			 (min(j) {disp(j) such that type(j) = lb} otherwise

       Similarly, the upper bound of Typemap is defined to be

			 (max(j) disp(j) + sizeof(type(j) = lb}   if no entry has
	   ub(Typemap) = (					  basic type ub
			 (max(j) {disp(j) such that type(j) = ub} otherwise

       Then

	   extent(Typemap) = ub(Typemap) - lb(Typemap)

       If  type(i)  requires  alignment  to  a	byte address that is a multiple of k(i), then e is the least nonnegative increment needed to round
       extent(Typemap) to the next multiple of max(i) k(i).

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.

NAME

       MPI_Type_get_true_extent - Returns the true lower bound and extent of a data type's corresponding typemap, ignoring MPI_UB and MPI_LB mark-
       ers.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Type_get_true_extent(MPI_Datatype datatype,
	    MPI_Aint *true_lb, MPI_Aint *true_extent)

Fortran Syntax (see FORTRAN 77 NOTES)
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_TYPE_GET_TRUE_EXTENT(DATATYPE, TRUE_LB, TRUE_EXTENT, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   DATATYPE, IERROR
	    INTEGER(KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) TRUE_LB, TRUE_EXTENT

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Datatype::Get_true_extent(MPI::Aint& true_lb,
	    MPI::Aint& true_extent) const

INPUT PARAMETER

       datatype  Data type for which information is wanted (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       true_lb	 True lower bound of data type (integer).

       true_extent
		 True size of data type (integer).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The true_lb parameter returns the offset of the lowest unit of store that is addressed by the data type, that is, the lower  bound  of  the
       corresponding  typemap,	ignoring  MPI_LB markers. The true_extent parameter returns the true size of the data type, that is, the extent of
       the corresponding typemap, ignoring MPI_LB and MPI_UB markers, and performing no rounding for alignment.

       The true_extent is the minimum number of bytes of memory necessary to hold a data type, uncompressed.

       See Section 4.14.3 of the MPI-2 standard for more detailed definitions of these parameters in relation to the typemap.

FORTRAN 77 NOTES
       The MPI standard prescribes portable Fortran syntax for the TRUE_LB and TRUE_EXTENT arguments only for Fortran 90. FORTRAN 77 users may use
       the non-portable syntax

	    INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND TRUE_LB
       or
	    INTEGER*MPI_ADDRESS_KIND TRUE_EXTENT

       where MPI_ADDRESS_KIND is a constant defined in mpif.h and gives the length of the declared integer in bytes.

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.

       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.
