mpiRecorderValidate
Declaration
long mpiRecorderValidate(MPIRecorder recorder)
Required Header: stdmpi.h
Description
mpiRecorderValidate validates the Recorder object and its handle. RecorderValidate should be called immediately after an object is created.
It is possible to create a recorder object and not delete it, leaving the resources for the recorder occupied, but forgotten about (abandoned). It is most common to run into this situation when using an index of -1 for the recorder. When developing a program and running it in the debugger, it is common for the developer to exit the program without letting the program clean up its recorder resources.
