## Struct template is_mpi_op

boost::mpi::is_mpi_op — Determine if a function object has an associated `MPI_Op`.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/mpi/operations.hpp>

    template<typename Op, typename T>
    struct is_mpi_op : public false_ {
    };

## Description

This trait determines if a function object type `Op`, when used with argument type `T`, has an associated `MPI_Op`. If so, `is_mpi_op<Op,T>` will derive from `mpl::false_` and will contain a static member function `op` that takes no arguments but returns the associated `MPI_Op` value. For instance, `is_mpi_op<std::plus<int>`,int>::op() returns `MPI_SUM`.

Users may specialize `is_mpi_op` for any other class templates that map onto operations that have `MPI_Op` equivalences, such as bitwise OR, logical and, or maximum. However, users are encouraged to use the standard function objects in the `functional` and `boost/mpi/operations.hpp` headers whenever possible. For function objects that are class templates with a single template parameter, it may be easier to specialize `is_builtin_mpi_op`.
