.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.ft R
|
|
This routine makes a "best attempt" to abort all tasks in the group of
|
|
comm. This function does not require that the invoking environment take any
|
|
action with the error code. However, a UNIX or POSIX
|
|
environment should handle this as a return errorcode from the main program
|
|
or an abort (errorcode).
|
|
.sp
|
|
The long-term goal of the Open MPI implementation is to terminate all processes in all tasks that contain a process in \fIcomm\fP, and the error code is not returned to the invoking environment. At the moment, this isn't fully implemented and MPI_Abort will terminate the entire job.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note: All associated processes are sent a SIGTERM.
|
|
|
|
.SH 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++ functions 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.
|
|
.sp
|
|
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.
