What about the usage of deprecated functions? (for example, the old attribute functions, old datatype constructors, ...) Since the code examples were not modified, they often still use versions that were deprecated in later versions of the standard. (see pg. 17 in the merged document) Examples (by no means complete list): (pg. number in merged document) MPI_Attr_get: 309, 229, 244 MPI_Attr_put: 409, 227 MPI_Keyval_create : 244, 227 ... Greetings, Dries * Rolf Rabenseifner <rabenseifner_at_[hidden]> [2008-02-23 22:19:18]:

The first draft of the combined document MPI 1.x plus MPI 2.0 is ready for review !!!

All necessary files can be found via http://www.hlrs.de/mpi/mpi21/

The files are stored in a restricted directory to prohibit that search engines can find the drafts.

Dear reviewer: Please print your chapter with colors (!) and check all merging decisions. The colors will help to identify MPI 1.1-1.3 (black), MPI-2.0 (magenta) and new text that was necessary for the merge (red).

The review should be finished a few days before the March meeting. Please post your review results on mpi-21_at_[hidden] as reply to this mail.

Please note, which chapter you reviewed.

Please refer with all comments exactly to page and line numbers of - MPI 1.1, the official Postscript version - MPI 2.0, the official Postscript version - MPI 2.1, draft 2008-02-23 from http://www.hlrs.de/mpi/mpi21/ - and the merging plan 2008-02-23, that you can find at same directory

If you detect a problem, it is necessary that you try to propose a solution in similar notation as used in the merging plan.

I have finished all except the merging of the MPI-1 C++ bindings into the chapters' text, and except of merging the Annexes.

The Ballots 1-4 are also not included. In the moment, you need to review only the "merging". Nothing more. If you detect errors in the original standards, then please go through normal procedure, i.e., through the MPI 2.1 and MPI 2.2 ballots.

And now, thank you very much that you have registered to do a review (if you are on the list below, done in Jan.2008 meeting).

Good luck.

Best regards Rolf
