2.5.6. Addresses

Some MPI procedures use address arguments that represent an absolute address in the calling program. The datatype of such an argument is MPI_Aint in C, MPI::Aint in C++ and INTEGER (KIND=MPI_ADDRESS_KIND) in Fortran. There is the MPI constant MPI_BOTTOM to indicate the start of the address range.
