Possibly. The point at hand is MPICH2: int for all handles but MPI_File, which is a pointer. All friends and relatives (MS MPI, Intel MPI, etc.) typically follow suit. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Craig Rasmussen Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 4:07 PM To: MPI-3 Fortran working group Subject: Re: [MPI3 Fortran] What if Fortran is the primary interface?

Thanks. I just wanted to alert everybody to the fact that handles may be very different from pointers in their nature, and that a single implementation may use both integers and pointers for different opaque object handles.
I assume this means they have different type definitions for each different type of handle, correct?
