Okay, I thought it might do that but despite having a paper copy of the MPI-3 RMA chapter three feet from me at the time, I was too lazy to look it up. Thanks for the clarification. Jeff On Tue, Sep 4, 2012 at 11:47 PM, Jim Dinan <[email protected]> wrote:

MPI_Win_free also frees memory allocated by MPI_Win_allocate.

Shouldn't that be a new call (MPI_Win_free_shared) to keep the usage of MPI_Win_free uniform? MPI_Win_free doesn't deallocate the buffers in any other situation, does it?

Hi All,

It looks like we forgot to include the text specifying that MPI_Win_allocate_shared memory is freed along with the window.

Hi,

is it correct that MPI_Win_free should free the memory allocated in MPI_Win_allocate_shared ?

MPI_Win_free (Page 416, Line 5-6) specifies this only for memory allocated by MPI_Win_allocate. I think that an additional reference to MPI_Win_allocate_shared is missing also on Page 420, Line 31, Page 448 Line 25, Page 609 Line 31, Page 613 Line 1, Page 614 Line 9, Page 614 Line 31.
