I was curious why the PMPI versions had been exempted in the text quoted in the ticket. It seems to contradict the text quoted above. I’m inclined to require that the C library PMPI versions be supplied even if the MPI versions are implemented as non-interceptable. The PMPI version could be as simple as a wrapper around a macro. But it ensures that the C library PMPI version exists for cross-language calling (where macros don’t work).

p555 says that the PMPI_ versions must be supplied. But it does not say anything about forcing them to be in a library (e.g., being able to call the C version from Fortran). That would be a new requirement.

Ah, OK. I then assume “supplied” can be satisfied by providing a macro for PMPI_Wtick, for example. In that case, the Fortran side can supply a non-MPI-named C wrapper that uses that macro. It seems reasonable to expect that the Fortran and C versions of routines like MPI_WTICK return the same values, which would be ensured if the Fortran version always calls the C equivalent. It’s useful to realize that some level of trickery might be needed to make that happen. Cheers, Bill
