[mpich-discuss] Howto use MPI_Comm_merge together with MPI_Comm_spawn

[Umit]

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this simple code:

#define NUM_SPAWNS 4
double timer;
int i;
char str[100];
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    MPI_Comm parentcomm, intercomm;
    MPI_Comm comm, scomm;
    MPI_Init( &argc, &argv );
    MPI_Comm_get_parent( &parentcomm );
    int np = NUM_SPAWNS;
    int size;
    MPI_Comm_size( MPI_COMM_WORLD , &size );
    if (parentcomm == MPI_COMM_NULL)
    {
       scomm = MPI_COMM_WORLD;
       int errcodes[np];
       MPI_Comm_spawn( "/home/test/Desktop/merge/./a.out", MPI_ARGV_NULL,
np, MPI_INFO_NULL, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &intercomm, errcodes );
       MPI_Intercomm_merge( intercomm, 1, &comm );
    }
    else
    {
        printf("I'm the spawned.\n");
    }
    MPI_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

I called MPI_Intercomm_merge outside of if statement but I got the same
error.
Spawn is successfull. I have especially tested it. If I try to merge, i got
the following error:

test at ubuntu:~/Desktop/merge$ mpirun -np 1 ./a.out
I'm the spawned.
I'm the spawned.
I'm the spawned.
I'm the spawned.
