Can I attach a callback to complete the request?

Question

In MPI, you can run an asynchronous message transfer procedure (for example, receive, MPI_Irecv). Is it possible to connect a callback function that will be executed as soon as the request is completed? For example, to process the received data.

This is an example of what I'm looking for:

#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>

void mycallback(void* data){
   (int*)data += 1; // add one to the received data
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
    int myid, numprocs, left, right;
    int buffer[10], buffer2[10];
    MPI_Request request;
    MPI_Status status;

    MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &numprocs);
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &myid);

    right = (myid + 1) % numprocs;
    left = myid - 1;
    if (left < 0)
        left = numprocs - 1;

    MPI_Irecv(buffer, 10, MPI_INT, left, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &request);
 // Attach_Callback(request, &mycallback); //somewhere after this point recv is completed an f is executed
    MPI_Send(buffer2, 10, MPI_INT, right, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
    MPI_Wait(&request, &status); //the recv and the callback must have been called at this point
    MPI_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

I found that there is a function MPI_Grequest_startand MPI_Grequest_complete, but they seem to be for something else, since the generated request is not related to a specific message transfer.

Maybe I need to implement Grequest (generic query) in which the callback consists of MPI_Recv(not MPI_Irecv). Is that an idea?

"" MPI, :

parallel.rank() = rank in the comm

parallel.send/rec() is defined as follow
