Hi Jeff
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I figured that out. Anyway, even in C++ program, I am using
C interfaces for the MPI bit. For me, its lot easier to understand the
documentation and help this way.
Thanks a lot once again.
Best,
Devendra

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] MPI::Request::Test not working
It looks like you are using C++ improperly. I would suggest something like
this (typed in email; not verified with a compiler):
MPI::Request Isend_request;
Isend_request = MPI::COMM_WORLD.Isend(...);
MPI::Status status;
if (Isend_request.Test(status)) {
// ...
}
