Dear all, there were several comments and modification requests during our reading of ticket #484 that will require another reading. I put up the notes from the reading at: https://github.com/mpiwg-tools/tools-issues/wiki/Notes-2015-09-24 Kathryn and I would like to discuss this at the next call on Oct 8, 2015. The most pressing question in advance is that we think about where the symbol _needs_ to be defined, if at all. The current definition is a little ambiguous. As the variable is optional, the common understanding during the discussion was that it does not have to be available in _every_ process. Does it lead to complications for the Debuggers (bookkeeping, etc.) if some MPI processes have the symbol and others do not? Should we rather have a "all or none" semantic? It would be great, if we could discuss this prior to next week, so we can finalize the wording on this ticket during the call.
