Table 11 lists all of the C++ predefined MPI datatypes and their corresponding C and C++ datatypes, Table 12 lists all of the Fortran predefined MPI datatypes and their corresponding Fortran 77 datatypes. Table 13 lists the C++ names for all other MPI datatypes.
MPI::BYTE and MPI::PACKED conform to the same restrictions as MPI_BYTE and MPI_PACKED, listed in Sections Message Data on page Message Data and Sections Pack and Unpack on page Pack and Unpack , respectively.

The following table defines groups of MPI predefined datatypes:
Valid datatypes for each reduction operation are specified below in terms of the groups defined above.
MPI::MINLOC and MPI::MAXLOC perform just as their C and Fortran counterparts; see Section MINLOC and MAXLOC on page MINLOC and MAXLOC .
