These man pages (for
MPI_AllgatherandMPI_Allgathervwhen usingMPI_IN_PLACE) were wrong (intended to callMPI_Gather(v)). The example is a bit confusing becauserecvbufis modified in a loop of repeat calls, but I think the loop is still correct because the subset ofrecvbufthat acts as send area when usingMPI_IN_PLACEshould be invariant. I don't know if you want to keep this explanation; it certainly can't be used to explain sibling collectives that supportMPI_IN_PLACE.(Apologies for the incorrect explanation prior to edit.)
