I can try doing that. But for now:

for (unsigned int i=0;i<world.size();i++)

    {

        if (particles_to_be_sent[i].size()>0)

        {

            ghosts_to_be_sent[i].part_crossed_send()='b';

            world.isend(i,20,particles_to_be_sent[i]);

        }

    }

    mpi::all_to_all(world,ghosts_to_be_sent,ghosts_received);

    //receive particles

    for (int recv_rank=0;recv_rank<world.size();recv_rank++)

    {

        if (ghosts_received[recv_rank].part_crossed_send()=='b')

        {

            world.recv(recv_rank,20,particles_received); //this line fails

            for (unsigned int i=0;i<particles_received.size();i++)

            {

                //do stuff

            }

        }

        for (unsigned int j=0;j<ghosts_received[recv_rank].ghosts_to_send().size();j++)

        {

            //do stuff

        }

    }

Subject: Re: [Boost-users] boost-mpi assertion during recv fails

Hello,

I am using boost-mpi and I am getting an error that I am having a hard time figuring out. I am using a recv call and an assertion in the boost code fails:

void boost::mpi::binary_buffer_iprimitive::load_impl(void *, int): Assertion `position+l<=static_cast<int>(buffer_.size())’

Hi Kyle,

You have to provide some code if you want us to help you. It's basically impossible to conclude anything with a single assertion fail.

Do a test case, reduce it to the simplest scenario you can and start pulling back the complexity of your original code. It's tedious, but always works.

Regards,

Júlio.
