Hi Junachao,

This is a recent item we added to the errata. I don't believe it has been merged into the online errata yet. 

I was mistaken. This correction will be in the next version of the standard and not in the errata. We felt it was slightly too much of a change to be considered an item for the errata. 

Sorry for any confusion!

Kathryn

The text for the errata is:

 page 568, line 31 add: Any output parameter to MPI_T_cvar_get_info can have a NULL value. In this case, the implementation will ignore the parameter and not return a value for that parameter.

page 576, line 46 add: Any output parameter to MPI_T_pvar_get_info can have a NULL value. In this case, the implementation will ignore the parameter and not return a value for that parameter.

page 586, line 22 add: Any output parameter to MPI_T_category_get_info can have a NULL value. In this case, the implementation will ignore the parameter and not return a value for that parameter.

You can see the evolution of this change here:

Hello,

  For function "int MPI_T_pvar_get_info(int pvar_index, char *name, int *name_len, int *verbosity, int *var_class, ...)", MPI_T defines semantics when name or name_len are NULL. 

  But for other args, if they are NULL, is it a user program error or should we just ignore it? I prefer the latter. But the standard doesn't say it.

  Thanks
