# MPI_Ineighbor_alltoallw

Nonblocking version of MPI_Neighbor_alltoallw.

## Synopsis

    int MPI_Ineighbor_alltoallw(const void *sendbuf, const int sendcounts[], const MPI_Aint sdispls[],
                                const MPI_Datatype sendtypes[], void *recvbuf, const int recvcounts[],
                                const MPI_Aint rdispls[], const MPI_Datatype recvtypes[], MPI_Comm comm,
                                MPI_Request * request)

## Input Parameters

sendbuf
  starting address of the send buffer (choice)
sendcounts
  non-negative integer array (of length outdegree) specifying the number of elements to send to each neighbor
sdispls
  integer array (of length outdegree). Entry j specifies the displacement in bytes (relative to sendbuf) from which to take the outgoing data destined for neighbor j (array of integers)
sendtypes
  array of datatypes (of length outdegree). Entry j specifies the type of data to send to neighbor j (array of handles)
recvcounts
  non-negative integer array (of length indegree) specifying the number of elements that are received from each neighbor
rdispls
  integer array (of length indegree). Entry i specifies the displacement in bytes (relative to recvbuf) at which to place the incoming data from neighbor i (array of integers).
recvtypes
  array of datatypes (of length indegree). Entry i specifies the type of data received from neighbor i (array of handles).
comm
  communicator with topology structure (handle)

## Output Parameters

recvbuf
  starting address of the receive buffer (choice)
request
  communication request (handle)

## Thread and Interrupt Safety

This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as `malloc` or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

## Notes for Fortran

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for `MPI_WTIME` and `MPI_WTICK`) have an additional argument `ierr` at the end of the argument list. `ierr` is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the `call` statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., `MPI_Datatype`, `MPI_Comm`) are of type `INTEGER` in Fortran.

## Errors

All MPI routines (except `MPI_Wtime` and `MPI_Wtick`) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with `MPI_Comm_set_errhandler` (for communicators), `MPI_File_set_errhandler` (for files), and `MPI_Win_set_errhandler` (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine `MPI_Errhandler_set` may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
