Hi Jeff,
Due to the summer break and vacation time, especially in Europe, we haven’t had a chance to address this - Marc-Andre had suggested a tools call on this for after EuroMPI and then we’ll know more (we need to get tool implementors to the table
who are not part of the WG).
Personally, though, I fear you are right with your assumption, but I am happy to be proven wrong.

Should I infer from the lack of reply that no tools properly handle either Fortran descriptors or the descriptor-based symbols?

In Open MPI, we are finally working towards supporting Fortran descriptors for choice buffers (i.e., "TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..)").
Per MPI-3.1 p613 table 17.1, this means ***changing all the back-end symbols*** that are used for PMPI-style interception.
A concrete example:
- in mpif.h / the mpi module, MPI_SEND will become MPI_SEND_FTS
- in the mpi_f08 module, MPI_SEND will become MPI_SEND_F08TS
I.e., anywhere the application calls MPI_SEND, it will be transmogrified to either MPI_SEND_FTS or MPI_SEND_F08TS. And the choice buffer passed will be a descriptor (which may therefore be a subarray, not a contiguous buffer), not a naked pointer.
Here's my questions:
1. Do any tools support Fortran descriptors as choice buffers?
2. Do any tools intercept the symbols as described in MPI-3.1 table 17.1?
