MPI_Address(3)

NAME
     MPI_Address - Gets the address of a location in memory

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Address( location, address)
          void     *location;
          MPI_Aint *address;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          Aint Get_address(
          void*             location)


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          <type> LOCATION(*)
          INTEGER address, ierror

          CALL MPI_ADDRESS(location, address, ierror)


STANDARDS
     This release implements the MPI 1.2 standard, as documented by the MPI
     Forum in the spring 1997 release of MPI:  A Message Passing Interface
     Standard.

DESCRIPTION
     The MPI_Address routine gets the address of a location in memory.  This
     routine is provided for both Fortran and C programmers.  On many systems,
     the address returned by this routine will be the same as produced by the
     C & operator, but this is not required in C and might not be true of
     systems with word- rather than byte-oriented instructions or systems with
     segmented address spaces.  This routine accepts the following parameters:

     location  Specifies the location in caller memory (choice)

     address   Returns the address of the location (integer)

     ierror    Specifies the return code value for successful completion,
               which is in MPI_SUCCESS.  MPI_SUCCESS is defined in the mpif.h
               file.
