Wesley,
I understand the interest in scoping the abort to a single set of processes. However, without support for detecting that some processes have disappeared (failure or abort) I don't see how you can use this for anything constructive. Thus, I am confused by this proposal as it seems to lack a second part where the processes outside of the MPI_ABORT scope deal with the newly defined behavior.
Can you be a little bit more explicit on how this scoped MPI_ABORT, as defined in this ticket, will be beneficial to application?
Thanks,
George.
