Dear OpenMPI developers, i'm writing an MPI_Gather wrapper to collect void elements. My queation is: is there a portable way to know the type of received elements, like MPI_INT or MPI_DOUBLE? I've noted that i can retrieve this information by ompi_datatype_t-> name field, but i think isn't portable. Is there aMPI function that does this check?
