MPI_Comm_compare - Compares two communicators.

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_compare(MPI_Comm comm1, MPI_Comm comm2, int *result)

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_COMPARE(COMM1, COMM2, RESULT, IERROR)
	INTEGER	COMM1, COMM2, RESULT, IERROR

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_compare(comm1, comm2, result, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm1, comm2
	INTEGER, INTENT(OUT) :: result
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

#include <mpi.h>
static int Comm::Compare(const Comm& comm1, const Comm& comm2)

Comm1 (handle).
Comm2 (handle).

Result of comparison (integer).
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

MPI_IDENT results if and only if comm1 and comm2 are handles for the same object (identical groups and same contexts). MPI_CONGRUENT results if the underlying groups are identical in constituents and rank order; these communicators differ only by context. MPI_SIMILAR results of the group members of both communicators are the same but the rank order differs. MPI_UNEQUAL results otherwise.

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.

Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; 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.
