<a name="idm45927878424416"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> class is used to initialize, finalize, and query the MPI environment. It will typically be used in the <code class="computeroutput">main()</code> function of a program, which will create a single instance of <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> initialized with the arguments passed to the program:</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">main</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">int</span> <span class="identifier">argc</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="keyword">char</span><span class="special">*</span> <span class="identifier">argv</span><span class="special">[</span><span class="special">]</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
  <span class="identifier">mpi</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">environment</span> <span class="identifier">env</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">argc</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">argv</span><span class="special">)</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>The instance of <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> will initialize MPI (by calling <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Init</code>) in its constructor and finalize MPI (by calling <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Finalize</code> for normal termination or <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Abort</code> for an uncaught exception) in its destructor.</p>
<p>The use of <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> is not mandatory. Users may choose to invoke <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Init</code> and <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Finalize</code> manually. In this case, no <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> object is needed. If one is created, however, it will do nothing on either construction or destruction. </p>

<p>Shuts down the MPI environment.</p>
<p>If this <code class="computeroutput">environment</code> object was used to initialize the MPI environment, and the MPI environment has not already been shut down (finalized), this destructor will shut down the MPI environment. Under normal circumstances, this only involves invoking <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Finalize</code>. However, if destruction is the result of an uncaught exception and the <code class="computeroutput">abort_on_exception</code> parameter of the constructor had the value <code class="computeroutput">true</code>, this destructor will invoke <code class="computeroutput">MPI_Abort</code> with <code class="computeroutput">MPI_COMM_WORLD</code> to abort the entire MPI program with a result code of -1. </p>
