Thanks! Is there an SVN permissions problem such that you can't commit? (assumedly to the /minutiae branch, since the MPIreplace* (etc.) macros are not on the /approved branch...?) On Jun 9, 2011, at 8:23 PM, William Gropp wrote:

Attached is the diff of the fix. I can't commit it, so one of you will need to.

Floats lost is often due to a limitation in LaTeX. One possible issue is that the the change markers use floats, and so do tables. LaTeX isn't very happy with floats within floats. I'm in a meeting today and can't look at it until later, but one solution may be to inline the ticket info in these cases.

We're still having latex woes in ticket 278. Can you help?

We replaced all the \MPIreplace macros with deletebegin/end and updatebegin/end, but we're still getting "Float(s) lost". It seems to have to do with a table in datatype.tex. The table looks like this:

----- \begin{table}[ht] \begin{center} \begin{constlist} \constitem{MPI\_COMBINER\_NAMED}{a named predefined datatype} ...etc. \MPIdeleteBegin{3.0}{278} \constitem{MPI\_COMBINER\_HVECTOR\_INTEGER}{\mpifunc{MPI\_TYPE\_HVECTOR} from Fortran} \constitem{MPI\_COMBINER\_HVECTOR}{\mpifunc{MPI\_TYPE\_HVECTOR} from C or C++} \constskipitem{}{\ \ and in some case Fortran} \constskipitem{}{\ \ or \mpifunc{MPI\_TYPE\_CREATE\_HVECTOR}} \MPIdeleteEnd{3.0} \MPIupdateBegin{3.0}{278} \constitem{MPI\_COMBINER\_HVECTOR}{\mpifunc{MPI\_TYPE\_CREATE\_HVECTOR}} \MPIupdateEnd{3.0} ...etc. -----

If we remove all the \MPIdelete* and \MPIupdate* macros, it builds ok. If we put even one of them back, we get "Float(s) lost" and pdflatex aborts. But other than that, we're totally stumped (we've wasted 2+ hours trying to solve this so far :-( ).

What should we do?
