The discussion of the "C++ types inaccessible after #281" is continued on the new ticket #340 https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/340 I tried to put all interested people in the CC of #340, but I'm not sure. And I tried to find a solution based on the discussion so fare. Please add yourself to that CC list, and please continue the discussion on #340 and not on this email track.

There is obviously one exception: The middle table on page 517, because we forgot to define the handles for the 4 C++ types in the other language bindings (C, Fortran).

I would propose to fill the gap by - defining in C and Fortran MPI_CPP_BOOL for C++ bool - defining in C and Fortran MPI_CPP_COMPLEX, MPI_CPP_DOUBLE_COMPLEX, MPI_CPP_LONG_DOUBLE_COMPLEX, [snip]

All of the rest of this sounds find to me, except that I would marginally prefer MPI_CXX_BOOL, MPI_CXX_COMPLEX, ...etc. (i.e., CXX instead of CPP).

"CPP" is a bit overloaded; it can also mean the "C Pre Processor" (e.g., in Make/shell variable parlance).
