<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#333399; font-size:10pt">Hi,<br>
<br>
Suppose I have a file containing "ABCD", I build a type that would let me read "AC" and another type allowing me to read "BD". Can I then create a struct type using MPI_Type_create_struct combining the 2 types, and use it in an MPI_File_set_view such that if
I then read 4 bytes on the file, I get "ACDB" in my buffer?<br>
<br>
If so, another more complicated scenario: say my first type would let me read "ACD" from the file and the second type would allow me to read "BC", can I then build a struct type using those two types, use it in an MPI_File_set_view to get "ACDBC" if I read
5 bytes?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
