I would suggest making the first sentence include enumerations and categories: Enumerations, variables, and categories with the same name in connected… We also might need to explicitly state the full names of the GET_INFO routines instead of using a star. Do you intend to keep the table we made of the parameters? Kathryn On Apr 17, 2014, at 3:38 PM, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <[email protected]> wrote:

How's this for a new suggestion:

----- Variables with the same name in connected processes are required to:

* Adhere to the same definition from the MPI implementation * Exhibit the same behavioral semantics * Return the same INOUT and OUT values from the relevant MPI_T_*_GET_INFO function, with the exception that OUT index values may differ between different processes

Similarly, enumerations and categories with the same name in connected processes must also obey the above restrictions,

Advice to implementors. The intent of these requirements is to enforce consistent meanings of variables, categories, and enumerations across connected processes. For example, variables describing the number of packets sent across different network device types should have different names to reflect their potentially different meanings. (End of advice to implementors.) -----

Hi all,

For anyone who wanted to muck with the text for ticket 383, I put the document into the tools working group repository (trunk/working-groups/mpi-3/tools/MPI-3.1-toolsWG).
