Hello,

I think I found an issue in MPI_Win_get_attr, when MPI_WIN_SIZE is specified. It is supposed to return the size of the window, but it seems to give a random number.

Just wanted to confirm one thing: I think MPI_Win_get_attr is supposed to return a value of type MPI_Aint, when MPI_WIN_SIZE is specified. Is it correct?

No. According to p415 of MPI-3.0 spec, in C bindings, MPI_Win_get_attr(..., MPI_WIN_SIZE, &size, ...) return in size "pointer" to the size of the window. In Fortran bindings, it returns a value instead.

Test program: See the attached file

Result I got: hfujita@lssg-lp-00:~/work/mpi_win_size_test$ ./win_size_test Got size=140729394560728, while expecting 1024 hfujita@lssg-lp-00:~/work/mpi_win_size_test$ ./win_size_test Got size=139994694213336, while expecting 1024 hfujita@lssg-lp-00:~/work/mpi_win_size_test$ ./win_size_test Got size=139739628887768, while expecting 1024 hfujita@lssg-lp-00:~/work/mpi_win_size_test$ ./win_size_test Got size=140131810524888, while expecting 1024 hfujita@lssg-lp-00:~/work/mpi_win_size_test$ ./win_size_test Got size=139859819581144, while expecting 1024

Expected result: If the MPI library works as I expected, the test program won’t show any message.
