DESCRIPTION
MPI_Win_test is a one-sided MPI communication synchronization call, a
nonblocking version of MPI_Win_wait. It returns ag = true if
MPI_Win_wait would return, ag = false otherwise. The effect of return
of MPI_Win_test with flag = true is the same as the effect of a return
of MPI_Win_wait. If ag = false is returned, then the call has no
visible effect.
Invoke MPI_Win_test only where MPI_Win_wait can be invoked. Once the
call has returned ag = true, it must not be invoked anew, until the
window is posted anew.
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.
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_Win_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.
