Alexander, thanks for the review. Which pdf (URL) was the basis?

Compliant MPI-3 implementations providing a Fortran interface must provide provide one or both of the following: _ The USE mpi_f08 Fortran support method. _ The USE mpi and INCLUDE 'mpif.h' Fortran support methods.

This sentence is based on the MPI-2.2 p480:44-46 statement: A compliant MPI-2 implementation providing a Fortran interface must provide Extended Fortran Support unless the target compiler does not support modules or KIND-parameterized types. It clearly allows also to "not provide" a Fortran interface. We added to this optional mpif.h + mpi module a new additional optional interface: the mpi_f08 module. Both mpich2 and OpenMPI have committed to provide mpi_f08, therefore there is not a real problem. There are other MPI's arround that never provided any Fortran support. Also okay. It was heavily discussed at the meetings and the current text is the democratic result. Best regards Rolf ----- Original Message -----

By the way, whoever is going to review chapter 17, please look into 602/1-6:

 

Compliant MPI-3 implementations providing a Fortran interface must provide provide

one or both of the following:

_ The USE mpi_f08 Fortran support method.

_ The USE mpi and INCLUDE 'mpif.h' Fortran support methods.

 

Double “provide” aside, this passage amounts to opening the door to a silent removal (not even deprecation) of the old Fortran interface. This cannot be the real intent of the Forum, I hope. Also, some advices to the implementors effectively suggest breaking backward compatibility on the old Fortran interface, if retained, up to and including a failed application build and changes to the application necessary as a consequence. Again, I think this is a bit too much of a good thing.

Hi Rich,

 

It might help those interested if you described the applicable deadlines, the desired output of the review, and the resp. correction procedure, should it become necessary.

 

I hate to see my favorite Appendix A orphaned. Anyone against my taking on it?

 

Best regards.

 

Alexander

We are currently doing chapter reviews for the forum – all tickets are committed and reviewed.  If anyone has changes to make please coordinate this morning (Thursday 7/19/2012 – Chicago time) with the person who is doing the review.  After these are done, responsibility will revert to the chapter committees.  I will send out a separate note on the timelines we agreed to yesterday, but in a nutshell, all changes must be completed and reviewed by Thursday 7/26/2012, 5pm Pacific time, so that we can prepare a draft version to be posted for comment.

 

If someone remote would like to take the responsibility for an unclaimed chapter, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Rich
