Dear Fab, MPI-3.0 p32:32-36 may answer your question? I also expect that this wording is at the best place. Best regards Rolf ----- Original Message -----

Is MPI_STATUS_IGNORE valid as the status parameter to the following functions:

- MPI_Request_get_status

- MPI_Probe

- MPI_Iprobe

Should the standard clarify either way?

Thanks,
