Hi Junchao,
At p578 of the standard,
MPI_T_PVAR_HANDLE_ALLOC(session, pvar_index, obj_handle, handle, count) ... OUT count number of elements used to represent this variable (integer)
It looks to me that pvar can have different classes, e.g., MPI_T_PVAR_CLASS_COUNTER, and datatypes, e.g., MPI_UNSIGNED. And a pvar can be an array (of length count) of such datatypes.
I guess the common case is count=1.
Is my understanding correct?
Yes, your understanding is correct. Hope that helps, Kathryn
Thanks
