As long as we’re having remote meetings, we’re not setting up WG time during the meeting itself. So each WG is just having its usual con calls on their own schedule (or in the case of Fortran, not). If you folks want to throw together a plenary, we can still put that on the agenda though. Thanks, Wes

Normally, we would have a Fortran WG meeting during the quarterly meeting. Is there going to be a Fortran WG session at the December meeting?

This is a good enhancement; I believe the only reason that we hadn’t done this before is that we’ve stuck closely to the original Fortran look-and-feel - which was pre-Fortran 90. We could have done this earlier, and now that there are explicit interfaces that are only available in Fortran08, there is no reason not to do this.

RMA absolutely did the right thing with MPI_Aint size and displacement arguments.

In C, it is no problem to pass 32b integers to these arguments when AINT is 64b, because C type promotion rules just work.

In Fortran, I cannot do this, because an integer literal is not compatible with an AINT argument. I find it tedious to have to declare a variable just for this, or to explicitly cast with integer(100,MPI_ADDRESS_KIND).

Since Fortran does polymorphism right and can have subroutine declarations for both default integer and AINT integer scalar arguments, is there a good reason not to add the former?

This proposal applies not to just MPI_Win_allocate but any RMA function that uses AINT scalar arguments.

Thanks,

Jeff
