Hi,
I submit again this old question because I didn't get any answer last
time.
My problem is the following one:
I try to implement piggyback mechanisms. In fact I want to piggyback
an integer on every message.
To do that, I dynamically create new datatype for each send.
The code I use to do that is described below. This code works fine.
But if the integer I piggyback (named "pigg" in the code) is
allocated using malloc,I still get the good result, but I get the
following kind of message:
../../ompi/datatype/datatype_pack.h:38
Pointer 0xbff25fbc size 4 is outside [0xbff25fbc,0x911300c] for
base ptr (nil) count 1 and data

My question is : what does this message means ? Is there an error in
my code ? and what can I do to avoid this message ?

Hi,
I'm currently implementing a mechanism to piggyback information on
messages. On message sending, I dynamically create a new datatype
composed of the original buffer and of the data to piggyback.
For instance, if I want to piggyback an integer on each message, I
use the following code:
int send(void *buf,
size_t count,
struct ompi_datatype_t* datatype,
int dst,
int tag,
mca_pml_base_send_mode_t sendmode,
ompi_communicator_t* comm )
{
MPI_Datatype type[2];
int blocklen[2];
MPI_Aint disp[2];
MPI_Datatype datatype_out;
int piggy=0;
type[0]=datatype;
type[1]=MPI_INT;
blocklen[0]=count;
blocklen[1]=1;
MPI_Address(buf,disp);
MPI_Address(&piggy,disp+1);
MPI_Type_struct(2, blocklen, disp, type, datatype_out);
MPI_Type_commit(datatype_out);
/* then I call the original send function and send my new
datatype */
original_send(MPI_BOTTOM, 1, datatype_out, dst, tag, sendmode,
comm);
}
This code works well. But if the data I want to piggyback is
dynamically allocated. I get this kind of error message:
../../ompi/datatype/datatype_pack.h:40
Pointer 0x823fab0 size 4 is outside [0xbfef8920,0x823fab4] for
base ptr (nil) count 1 and data
Datatype 0x8240b90[] size 8 align 4 id 0 length 3 used 2
true_lb -1074820832 true_ub 136575668 (true_extent 1211396500) lb
-1074820832 ub 136575668 (extent 1211396500)
nbElems 2 loops 0 flags 102 (commited )-c-----GD--[---][---
Despite this message, the function works well too ...
Can someone explain me what this message means ? It seems that in
the first part of the error message, the lower bound and the upper
bound of the datatype are switched, but I don't know why.
Regards.
