Dear users,
I have been banging my head against the wall for some time to find a
reliable and portable way to determine if a call to MPI::File::Open()
was successful or not.
Let me give some background information first. We develop an open-source
astrophysical modeling code called Cloudy. This is used by many
scientists on a variety of platforms. We obviously have no control over
the MPI version that is installed on that platform, it may not even be
open-MPI. So what we need is a method that is supported by all MPI distros.
Our code is written in C++, so we use the C++ version of the MPI and
MPI-IO libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter.
