MPI_Attr_delete - Deletes attribute value associated with a key
-- use of this routine is deprecated. 
 
 #include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Attr_delete(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval)
 
 INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
MPI_ATTR_DELETE(COMM, KEYVAL, IERROR)
    INTEGER    COMM, KEYVAL, IERROR
 
comm Communicator to which attribute is attached (handle).
keyval The key value of the deleted attribute (integer).
  
Note that use of this
routine is deprecated as of MPI-2, and was deleted in MPI-3. Please use MPI_Comm_delete_attr.
 This function does not have a C++ or mpi_f08 binding.IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).
  
Delete attribute
from cache by key. This function invokes the attribute delete function delete_fn
specified when the keyval was created. The call will fail if the delete_fn
function returns an error code other than MPI_SUCCESS.
  Whenever a communicator
is replicated using the function MPI_Comm_dup, all callback copy functions
for attributes that are currently set are invoked (in arbitrary order).
Whenever a communicator is deleted using the function MPI_Comm_free, all
callback delete functions for attributes that are currently set are invoked.
 
 
Note that it is not defined by the MPI standard what happens if
the delete_fn callback invokes other MPI functions.  In Open MPI, it is
not valid for delete_fn callbacks (or any of their children) to add or
delete attributes on the same object on which the delete_fn callback is
being invoked. 
 
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C
routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last
argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler
is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception
mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object. 
Before the error
value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default,
this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The
error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined
error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be
returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue
past an error.
