MPI_Type_hindexed(3)

NAME
     MPI_Type_hindexed - Creates an indexed data type with offsets in bytes

SYNOPSIS
     C:

          #include <mpi.h>

          int MPI_Type_hindexed( count, blocklens, indices,
          old_type, newtype )
          int           count;
          int           blocklens[];
          MPI_Aint      indices[];
          MPI_Datatype  old_type;
          MPI_Datatype *newtype;


     C++:

          #include <mpi.h>

          Datatype Datatype::Create_hindexed(
          int               count,
          const             intarray_of_blocklengths[],
          const Aint        array_of_displacements[]) const


     Fortran:

          INCLUDE "mpif.h" (or USE MPI)

          INTEGER count, array_of_blocklengths(*),
          array_of_displacements(*), oldtype, newtype, ierror

          CALL MPI_TYPE_HINDEXED(count, array_of_blocklengths(*),
          array_of_displacements(*), oldtype, newtype, 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_Type_hindexed routine creates an indexed data type with offsets
     in bytes.  This routine accepts the following parameters:

     count     Specifies the number of blocks.  Also specifies the number of
               entries in indices and blocklens (integer)
     blocklens Specifies the number of elements in each block (array of
               nonnegative integers)

     indices   Specifies the byte displacement of each block (array of
               integers)

     old_type  Specifies the old data type (handle)

     newtype   Returns the new data type (handle)

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