# PetscCommBuildTwoSidedFReq

discovers communicating ranks given one-sided information, calling user-defined functions during rendezvous, returns requests

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsys.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscCommBuildTwoSidedFReq(MPI_Comm comm,PetscMPIInt count,MPI_Datatype dtype,PetscMPIInt nto,const PetscMPIInt *toranks,const void *todata,
                                              PetscMPIInt *nfrom,PetscMPIInt **fromranks,void *fromdata,PetscMPIInt ntags,MPI_Request **toreqs,MPI_Request **fromreqs,
                                              PetscErrorCode (*send)(MPI_Comm,const PetscMPIInt[],PetscMPIInt,PetscMPIInt,void*,MPI_Request[],void*),
                                              PetscErrorCode (*recv)(MPI_Comm,const PetscMPIInt[],PetscMPIInt,void*,MPI_Request[],void*),void *ctx)

Collective on MPI_Comm

### Input Arguments

| comm | - communicator
| count | - number of entries to send/receive in initial rendezvous (must match on all ranks)
| dtype | - datatype to send/receive from each rank (must match on all ranks)
| nto | - number of ranks to send data to
| toranks | - ranks to send to (array of length nto)
| todata | - data to send to each rank (packed)
| ntags | - number of tags needed by send/recv callbacks
| send | - callback invoked on sending process when ready to send primary payload
| recv | - callback invoked on receiving process after delivery of rendezvous message
| ctx | - context for callbacks

### Output Arguments

| nfrom | - number of ranks receiving messages from
| fromranks | - ranks receiving messages from (length nfrom; caller should PetscFree())
| fromdata | - packed data from each rank, each with count entries of type dtype (length nfrom, caller responsible for PetscFree())
| toreqs | - array of nto*ntags sender requests (caller must wait on these, then PetscFree())
| fromreqs | - array of nfrom*ntags receiver requests (caller must wait on these, then PetscFree())

### Notes

This memory-scalable interface is an alternative to calling PetscGatherNumberOfMessages() and PetscGatherMessageLengths(), possibly with a subsequent round of communication to send other data.

Basic data types as well as contiguous types are supported, but non-contiguous (e.g., strided) types are not.
