`../mpich-4.1.2/src/mpid/ch3/src/ch3u_request.c at line 480: ` that line is ``` MPIDI_Datatype_get_info(rreq->dev.user_count, rreq->dev.datatype, dt_contig, userbuf_sz, dt_ptr, dt_true_lb); ``` That is a macro and the assertion is inside the macro expansion. Usually, the assertion indicates a wrong datatype handle. Do you think you can dump the datatype as hex value? -- Hui ________________________________ From: Mccall, Kurt E.

If I forgo the MPI_Comm_free in the first process, the same error then occurs in the second process. Does this give you any clue as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Kurt
