PetscMPIFortranDatatypeToC#
Converts a MPI_Fint that contains a Fortran MPI_Datatype to its C MPI_Datatype equivalent
Synopsis#
PetscErrorCode PetscMPIFortranDatatypeToC(MPI_Fint unit, MPI_Datatype *dtype)
Not Collective, No Fortran Support
Input Parameter#
unit - The Fortran
MPI_Datatype
Output Parameter#
dtype - the corresponding C
MPI_Datatype
Developer Note#
The MPI documentation in multiple places says that one can never us
Fortran MPI_Datatypes in C (or vice-versa) but this is problematic since users could never
call C routines from Fortran that have MPI_Datatype arguments. Jed states that the Fortran
MPI_Datatypes will always be available in C if the MPI was built to support Fortran. This function
relies on this.
