Hi
You should remove the "&" for the first parameters of your MPI_Send
and MPI_Recv:
MPI_Send(text, strlen(text) + 1, MPI_CHAR, 1, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
MPI_Recv(buffer, 128, MPI_CHAR, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_ANY_TAG,
MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
In C/C++ the name of an array is a pointer to the start of the array
(however, i can't exactly explain
why it worked with the hard-coded string))
