The definitions of IN and INOUT are given in section 2.3, page 10, and are not identical to the Fortran terms. INOUT means that the call may update the arguments - see lines 23-27 on page 10. The MPI standard is correct as is. Bill William Gropp Director, Parallel Computing Institute Thomas M.

Folks,

i noticed 3 similar and minor typos in the MPI 3.1 standard

1) MPI_COMM_SET_ATTR page 270 line 43 reads

"INOUT comm ..."

but should be

"IN comm ..."

2) MPI_WIN_SET_ATTR page 274 line 33 reads

"INOUT win ..."

but should be

"IN win ..."

3) MPI_TYPE_SET_ATTR page 278 line 3 reads

"INOUT datatype ..."

but should be

"IN datatype ..."

note Fortran 2008 correctly reads "INTENT(IN)"

Cheers,
