## 3.2.6. Clarification of Binding of MPI_TYPE_SIZE

Up: MPI-1.0 and MPI-1.1 Clarifications Next: Clarification of MPI_REDUCE Previous: Clarification of MPI_INTERCOMM_MERGE

This clarification is needed in the MPI-1 description of MPI_TYPE_SIZE, since the issue repeatedly arises. It is a clarification of the binding.

Advice to users.

The MPI-1 Standard specifies that the output argument of MPI_TYPE_SIZE in C is of type `int`. The MPI Forum considered proposals to change this and decided to reiterate the original decision. ( End of advice to users.)
