I updated the ticket 343 with the now hopefully final text for the terms chapter (after Bronis has moved the tools aspect to MPI-next), see https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/343 and the attached files. I hope that now all can agree with this correction of the existing inconsisteny as detected in the public review and discussed in the previous emails. -------------------------------- Latest summary of the necessary MPI-2.2 erratum in Sections 2.6.2 - 2.6.4: C:

"Programs must not declare names (identifiers), e.g., for variables, functions, constants, types, or macros, beginning with the prefix MPI_."

Fortran:

"Programs must not declare names, e.g., for variables, subroutines, functions, parameters, derived types, abstract interfaces, or modules, beginning with the prefix MPI_.

and for Fortran also "subroutines and functions" instead of only "functions" in the sentence about PMPI_. C++ (not visible in MPI-3.0 due to removal of C++):

"Programs must not declare names (identifiers), e.g., for variables, functions, constants, types, or macros, in the namespace MPI."

And change-log entry Sections 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 on pages 18 and 19, and MPI-2.2, Section 2.6.2 on page 17, lines 41-42, Section 2.6.3 on page 18, lines 15-16, and Section 2.6.4 on page 18, lines 40-41. This is an MPI-2 erratum: The scope for the reserved prefix MPI_ and the C++ namespace MPI was extended to any name. ------------------------------- Best regards Rolf ----- Original Message -----

I think we should defer the issue to MPI Next.

Hello Bronis, Kathryn, Dave,

Do you agree with Martin's opinion and his suggested addition for the tools chapter? ...
