Re: [Mpi-forum] Embiggenment: formal reading
As you all saw, a last-minute request from the Tools WG has made a minor change in the Embiggenment PDF. Luckily, we're still (barely) before the T-2 week deadline, so here's a new PDF that contains the requested change. Issue: https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/137 PR: https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/132 PDF: attached to Feb 4, 2020 comments on the issue/PR (this PDF includes all relevant text changes *AND* all the Embiggened bindings) Search for "ticket137" in the text to find all the text changes. The Embiggened functions are not marked; they are simply evident throughout the entire document.

Hi Jeff, Hi Martin,
argh ... sorry for being so late on this (see my other mail), but could you take the two calls
MPI_T_pvar_handle_alloc MPI_T_cvar_handle_alloc
out of the embiggening? The MPI_Count for the count argument does not really help in practice, so we (the tools WG) decided we would not need it.
I hope this does not re-rail your announcement of the reading.
Cheers, Marc-Andre

The Embiggenment WG is ready for a formal reading at the Feb 2020 Portland MPI Forum physical meeting.

To be clear, the Embiggenment WG is *NOT* raising this PDF as a "no no" vote compared to the ABQ meeting. This is a new PDF, and this will be its first formal reading.
The rationale is twofold:
1. A series of small items have come up (and been resolved) since the ABQ meeting that have not yet been presented to the Forum. We will present these in Portland. 2. This PDF includes *ALL* the rendered Embiggened APIs (which were not presented at the ABQ meeting).
After much thought/discussion in the WG, it just didn't seem right to bring up such wide-ranging changes in a "no no" vote. Yes, the Chapter Chairs/Committees have reviewed the Embiggened sections. But it doesn't seem like this is within the intended scope of the "no no" vote. A "no no" vote is supposed to be for "small" things.
We recognize that this "resets the clock" on this PR, and that it makes timing for MPI-4.0... awkward. It still seemed like the responsible thing to do.
