[OMPI users] Bug in return status of MPI_WAIT()?

[Katz, Jacob]

Hi,
While trying error-related functionality of OMPI, I came across a situation 
where when I use MPI_ERRORS_RETURN error handler, the errors do not come out 
correctly from WAIT calls.
The program below correctly terminates with a fatal "message truncated" error, 
but when the line setting the error handler to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN is 
uncommented, it silently completes. I expected the print out that checks the 
status after WAIT call to be executed, but it wasn't.
The issue didn't happen when using blocking recv.

A bug or my incorrect usage?

Thanks!

// mpic++ -o test test.cpp
// mpirun -np2 ./test
#include "mpi.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int rank;
    char buf[100] = "hmmmm";
    MPI::Status stat;

    MPI::Init(argc, argv);
    rank = MPI::COMM_WORLD.Get_rank();

//    MPI::COMM_WORLD.Set_errhandler(MPI::ERRORS_RETURN);

    if (rank == 0)
    {
        MPI::Request r = MPI::COMM_WORLD.Irecv(buf, 1, MPI_CHAR, 
MPI::ANY_SOURCE, MPI::ANY_TAG);
        r.Wait(stat);
        if (stat.Get_error() != MPI::SUCCESS)
        {
            cout << "0: Error during recv" << endl;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        MPI::COMM_WORLD.Send(buf, 2, MPI_CHAR, 0, 0);
    }

    MPI::Finalize();
    return (0);
}
