Hello, I propose an alternative for Jeff's multi-device problem for you to think. What we need is simply providing names for elements in an array-type var. Jeff's workaround works but is not intuitive. Having a state pvar which simply gives 0. 1, 2, ... is an over-design. How about this one: // Return true or false in has_subnames. MPI_T_pvar_has_subnames(session, handle, int has_subnames); // If has_subnames, use this function to get their names MPI_T_pvar_get_subnames(session, handle, char * subnames[], int lens[]); // Very like the newly proposed MPI_T_PVAR_READ_STR(session, handle, char * const strs[], int lens[]) Do the same for cvars, MPI_T_cvar_has_subnames(); MPI_T_cvar_get_subnames(); --Junchao Zhang On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 8:52 AM, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <[email protected]
