Ultimately, I'd be inclined to just scrap the routine as redundant.

This function has been there since 1996 (i.e., MPI-2). Is it now obsolete? I.e., the Fortran instrinsic STORAGE_SIZE suitable? If so, we can deprecate the old MPI_SIZEOF function and not put it in the new MPI-3 fortran module... but it still has to be implemented in the existing MPI-2 fortran "use mpi" module (even if it's deprecated). Can you answer Rolf's questions? I'm particularly interested in the fortran wrapper questions. -- Jeff Squyres [email protected] For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
