Details

Since Rmpi/pbdMPI pre-allocate memory to store comm, status, datatype, info, request, this function provides a variable in R to let different APIs share the same memory address.

If the package loads first, then this sets `.__MPI_APTS__' in the .GlobalEnv of R. If the package does not load before other MPI APIs, then this gives a structure pointer to external memory according to `.__MPI_APTS__', i.e. allocated by other MPI APIs.

pbdMPI/R/arrange.mpi.apts provides the R code, and pbdMPI/src/pkg_*.* provides the details of this call.
