MPI_Testall(3) MPI MPI_Testall(3) NAME MPI_Testall - Tests for the completion of all previously initiated re- quests SYNOPSIS int MPI_Testall(int count, MPI_Request array_of_requests[], int *flag, MPI_Status *array_of_statuses) INPUT PARAMETERS count - count (non-negative integer) INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETERS array_of_requests - array of requests (handle) OUTPUT PARAMETERS flag - flag (logical) array_of_statuses - array of status objects (Status) NOTES flag is true only if all requests have completed. Otherwise, flag is false and neither the array_of_requests nor the array_of_statuses is modified. If one or more of the requests completes with an error, MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS is returned. An error value will be present is elements of array_of_sta- tuses associated with the requests. Likewise, the MPI_ERROR field in the status elements associated with requests that have successfully completed will be MPI_SUCCESS . Finally, those requests that have not completed will have a value of MPI_ERR_PENDING . While it is possible to list a request handle more than once in the ar- ray_of_requests , such an action is considered erroneous and may cause the program to unexecpectedly terminate or produce incorrect results. NOTES ON THE MPI_STATUS ARGUMENT The MPI_ERROR field of the status return is only set if the return from the MPI routine is MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS . That error class is only returned by the routines that take an array of status arguments ( MPI_Testall , MPI_Testsome , MPI_Waitall , and MPI_Waitsome ). In all other cases, the value of the MPI_ERROR field in the status is unchanged. See section 3.2.5 in the MPI-1.1 specification for the exact text. For send operations, the only use of status is for MPI_Test_cancelled or in the case that there is an error in one of the four routines that may return the error class MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS , in which case the MPI_ERROR field of status will be set. In that case, the value will be set to MPI_SUCCESS for any send or receive operation that completed successfully, or MPI_ERR_PEND- ING for any operation which has neither failed nor completed. THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe. NOTES FOR FORTRAN All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an inte- ger and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call state- ment. All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran. ERRORS All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last ar- gument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error han- dler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible. MPI_SUCCESS - No error; MPI routine completed successfully. MPI_ERR_ARG - Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ). MPI_ERR_COUNT - Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is often valid. MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS - The actual error value is in the MPI_Status argument. This error class is returned only from the multiple-completion routines ( MPI_Testall , MPI_Testany , MPI_Testsome , MPI_Waitall , MPI_Waitany , and MPI_Waitsome ). The field MPI_ERROR in the status argument contains the error value or MPI_SUCCESS (no error and complete) or MPI_ERR_PENDING to indicate that the request has not completed. The MPI Standard does not specify what the result of the multiple com- pletion routines is when an error occurs. For example, in an MPI_WAITALL , does the routine wait for all requests to either fail or complete, or does it return immediately (with the MPI definition of immediately, which means independent of actions of other MPI processes)? MPICH has chosen to make the return immediate (alter- nately, local in MPI terms), and to use the error class MPI_ERR_PENDING (introduced in MPI 1.1) to indicate which requests have not completed. In most cases, only one request with an error will be detected in each call to an MPI routine that tests multiple requests. The requests that have not been processed (because an er- ror occurred in one of the requests) will have their MPI_ERROR field marked with MPI_ERR_PENDING . MPI_ERR_REQUEST - Invalid MPI_Request . Either null or, in the case of a MPI_Start or MPI_Startall , not a persistent request. MPI_ERR_OTHER - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code. 4/10/2026 MPI_Testall(3)
