NAME

6       XMPI_Coloroff  -   LAM/MPI-specific  function to disable a color in the
7       XMPI trace stream.

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <mpi.h>
11       int
12       XMPI_Coloroff()
13

NOTES

15       The LAM implementation of MPI is integrated  with  the  XMPI  run/debug
16       viewer.   It can generate tracefiles and on-the-fly trace streams suit‐
17       able for display in XMPI.
18
19       A new functionality in XMPI is the ability to enable and disable select
20       colors in the trace stream.  LAM/MPI allows this functionality with the
21       XMPI_Coloron and XMPI_Coloroff functions.
22
23       XMPI_Coloron is called with red , green , and  blue  parameters.   Each
24       value  may  be  from 0 to 255.  The resulting RGB composite will become
25       activated for that rank at that point in time.  Enabling and  disabling
26       colors is a local action; the calls will return immediately.  The color
27       will be activated or deactivated on the timeline corresponding  to  the
28       rank that invoked XMPI_Coloron / XMPI_Colorff in the XMPI trace window.
29
30       Only  one  color  is  active  at  a time.  However, XMPI_Coloron may be
31       invoked multiple times to build a stack of colors.  XMPI_Coloroff  will
32       pop the last color off the stack and make the previous color active.
33
34       If  this function is invoked and tracing is not active, the color deac‐
35       tivation is ignored.
36
37       There is no profiling version of this function.
38
39       This is a LAM/MPI-specific function and is intended mainly for use with
40       XMPI.   If this function is used, it should be used in conjunction with
41       the LAM_MPI C preprocessor macro
42
43       #if LAM_MPI
44       XMPI_Coloroff();
45       #endif

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

50       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK )  have
51       an  additional  argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr is
52       an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the  routine
53       in  C.   In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
54       the call statement.
55
56       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
57       Fortran.

ERRORS

61       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is
62       called to handle it.  By default, this error  handler  aborts  the  MPI
63       job.   The  error  handler may be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the
64       predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to  cause  error
65       values  to  be  returned  (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less
66       useful in with the C++ MPI  bindings.   The  predefined  error  handler
67       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS  should  be used in C++ if the error value
68       needs to be recovered).  Note that MPI does not guarantee that  an  MPI
69       program can continue past an error.
70
71       All  MPI  routines  (except  MPI_Wtime  and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
72       value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines  in
73       the  last  argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error val‐
74       ues; instead, error values are communicated by throwing  exceptions  of
75       type  MPI::Exception  (but not by default).  Exceptions are only thrown
76       if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .
77
78
79       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in  C++,  while  MPI
80       functions  will  return  upon an error, there will be no way to recover
81       what the actual error value was.
82       MPI_SUCCESS
83              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
84       MPI_ERR_INTERN
85              - An internal error has been detected.  This is  fatal.   Please
86              send  a  bug report to the LAM mailing list (see http://www.lam-
87              mpi.org/contact.php ).
