I'd like to add a proposal for globalization (not localization). That is, adding to the standard text that defines all strings are UTF-8. (I'll put a proposal together for next meeting) A second proposal is to expose a Unicode (wchar_t) variation of all API's taking strings. However, that might be more suitable for 3.0.

Please send any items you may have for 2.2 to mpi-22_at_[hidden] and/or upload them to the wiki (and let us know). I had made a note of the following items from the last meeting that were deferred to 2.2: * support for long long in maxloc, minloc * fix meaning of first two sentences in intercommunicator barrier * Ex 5.8 uses old style MPI_UB * Many functions say "integer" instead of "nonnegative integer" * const in C++ bindings * IN, OUT, and INOUT handle types broken * MPI_CHAR, MPI::CHAR should be signed char or char? * Need 64-bit sizes for count in messages * Sizes of MPI_Aint and MPI_Offset should not be different * New predefined types MPI_AINT and MPI_OFFSET * New predefined types corresponding to new types in C99, Fortran 2003, and C++ some year _______________________________________________ mpi-forum mailing list mpi-forum_at_[hidden] http://lists.mpi-forum.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mpi-forum
