If you care, the most recent OMPI 1.7 and SVN trunk nightly tarballs have the most correct/most-bug-fixed implementation of the mpi_f08 module available (soon to be released as OMPI 1.7.4). You'll need to build with a non-gfortran compiler to get the mpi_f08 module built (e.g., the Intel fortran compiler).

Really? Intel supports type(*) and dimension(..) now? Cheers, Bill

Hello,

The BIND(C) was removed in the latest errata, see http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/docs.html and http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/mpi-3.0/errata-30.pdf page 1 lines 21-27

Best regards Rolf Rabenseifner

Hello, I have a naive question. MPI3 has Fortran binding in forms like this:

MPI_Send(buf, count, datatype, dest, tag, comm, ierror) BIND(C) TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..), INTENT(IN) :: buf INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: count, dest, tag ...

So how to interpret BIND(C) here? Is it to say this interface is interoperable with C? But I find the interface arguments are not interoperable, e.g., INTEGER, instead of C_INT. Thank you.
