kamping::mpi_type_traits< T, Enable > Struct Template Reference

The type trait that maps a C++ type T to a type trait that can be used to construct an MPI_Datatype. More...

#include <mpi_datatype.hpp>

Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Enable = void>
struct kamping::mpi_type_traits< T, Enable >

The type trait that maps a C++ type T to a type trait that can be used to construct an MPI_Datatype.

The default behavior is controlled by type_dispatcher. If you want to support a type that is not supported by the default behavior, you can specialize this trait. For example:

struct MyType {
   int a;
   double b;
   char c;
   std::array<int, 3> d;
};
namespace kamping {
// using KaMPIng's built-in struct serializer
template <>
struct mpi_type_traits<MyType> : struct_type<MyType> {};
 
// or using an explicitly constructed type
template <>
struct mpi_type_traits<MyType> {
   static constexpr bool has_to_be_committed = true;
   static MPI_Datatype data_type() {
       MPI_Datatype type;
       MPI_Type_create_*(..., &type);
       return type;
   }
};
} // namespace kamping
