You might find generalized requests offer what you want if you don't mind spawning threads. You don't get to hook an attribute onto an MPI_Request object, but you do get a void * ponter which the implementation then associates with your user-defined request. This void * could be a datatype containing the orginali MPI_Request and your user data. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B
