# PetscMPIInt
datatype used to represent 'int' parameters to MPI functions.
## Notes
This is always a 32-bit integer, sometimes it is the same as `PetscInt`, but if PETSc was built with `--with-64-bit-indices` but
standard C/Fortran integers are 32-bit then this is NOT the same as `PetscInt`; it remains 32-bit.
`PetscMPIIntCast`(a,&b) checks if the given `PetscInt` a will fit in a `PetscMPIInt`, if not it
generates a `PETSC_ERR_ARG_OUTOFRANGE` error.
