Assertion `ncp->head != ((void *)0)' failed.

Hi Dr. Liao,

Thank you. Other ncmpi call works fine, like  ncmpi_get_vara_float and ncmpi_get_vara_float_all,

Yes, it should be `nb_temp'.

I wonder can we use ncmpi_iget_vara() on the same variable but different starts&lengths. From the sample program, it is used for multiple variables.

Hi, Jialin,

I suspect it is because the call to ncmpi_iget_vara() failed.
Please check the return values of all your ncmpi_ calls.
It may tell you if you got an error before you would like to continue.

Also, I am seeing this line in your codes:
>        nb_temp_in[rank]=calloc(varasize,sizeof(float));

But you are using nb_temp[rank] in ncmpi_iget_vara()
