[Mpi-forum] Informal meeting announcement for the May 2023 meeting of the MPI Forum

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

Dear forum members,

I would like to make the following announcements for the next MPI Forum Meeting (May 2-5, 2023):

- informal reading and discussion
    #705 Errata: Fortran has only compile-time constants    Rolf
      Issue https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/705
      PR    https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/819
      PDF https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/files/11358444/mpi41-report_Issue705_PR819.pdf

This errata should be completely discussed in next (May 2-5, 2023) meeting.
It is then planned to have an final errata reading plus errata vote at next meeting (July 10-13, 2023).

It is a bug since MPI-2.2 because a problem in C was directly mapped to Fortran.
This mapping was wrong.
In Fortran, there is no distinction between link-time and compile-time constants.

Best regards
Rolf Rabenseifner
