Hi Folks, Looking at the text for MPI_WAIT (page 54, line 15) and MPI_TEST (page 55, line 7), it seems to imply that the request handle is only set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL for non-blocking send and receive requests. Are generalized, I/O, and NBC requests not completed the same way? Are users required to free such requests explicitly after they complete using MPI_REQUEST_FREE? I would have expected that all request handles except those to persistent requests are set to MPI_REQUEST_NULL, and persistent request just rather marked inactive. If that is indeed the intent, shouldn't we update the text to reflect this? Is this a ticket-0 level change? Thanks, -Fab
