Hi all, in preparation of our call today, I read the current draft. Here are some comments: page 9, line 24: ---------------- I would rephrase: "This routine returns, if datatype represents a valid enumeration type, the size of the enumeration as well as a name for it." to "If datatype represents a valid enumeration type, this routine returns the size of the enumeration as well as a name for it." page 11, line 6: ---------------- Isn't UNIX a trademarked name? Do we have to acknowledge that on some other page in any way? page 11, line 36: ----------------- ... set ... -> ... sets ... page 13, Table 1.4: ------------------- might it be interesting to have a scope like "MPIT_SCOPE_AFTER_COMM_COMPLETION" (I admit the name is terrible), to indicate that this variable can be changed when no messages are "in flight"? Is there need for such a state? Would the 'eager limit' for example be ANYTIME? page 13, config vars in general: -------------------------------- Is there a reason why we don't have a 'gethandle' for the config vars? Wouldn't/Couldn't it be interesting to quickly check a variable value like 'eager limit' against the bytes sent in a sent, right in the wrapper. Wouldn't the handle call then have less overhead than the string-key call? page 14, line 25: ----------------- Is there a reason why the UTILIZATION paragraph is the only paragraph starting with a different style? I would also mention that utilization means the "ratio" between used resource to totally available resource. This would also make the value between 0 and 1 quite clear. That's all for now, I think.
