Mainly to Bill Gropp, Dick Treumann, and Marc Snir, who have contributed to this mail-discussion thread. This is a follow up to: Reporting invalid handles provided to handle conversion functions in http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/index.h... with mail discussion in http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/wgropp/projects/parallel/MPI/mpi-errata/discuss... _________________________________________ When I understand correctly, then a clarification is not needed in the MPI standard. If somebody wants a clarification to be included into the standard and therefore in Ballot 4, please send me your wording with the page and line references included. If all agree, that no clarification is needed, then I would finish this discussion-thread.
