Draft MPI-3 Standard Annex A Review

ver. 0.1

Based on the draft of July 19, 2012 sent around by Darius Buntinas


665/14:	Remove comma in "C, and Fortran". Apparently, C++ was there. :)
665/16:	Replace "chapter" by "section" (tentative).
665/22:	Replace " is listed in the left column" by "s are listed below". The table has only one column now. C++, once again.
665/22:	Probably, the whole first sentence should go: there are many Fortran-only tables below, and much more.
665/25 (table):	Where is MPI_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED or something? Would be good for those parts of the MPI-3 standard that will naturally lag behind others or cannot be provided on the target platform (like those new windows).

667/4-17:	Do not use abbreviations; add underscores to the MPI_T error code names, like: MPI_T_CANNOT_INIT, and so on (otherwise difficult to read and unlike old error codes, but for the MPI_ERR_LASTCODE). If accepted, also affects the MPI_T sections.

669/12:	Add "signed " ahead of "long long" (like in the previous line).
669/25:	Why bother pointing out the header? Remove this line.

671/1:	Remove " and C++" in the parentheses. No C++ binding, right?

674/43:	Add "." (period) at the end of the sentence.

676/29-30:	Fix indentation.
676/36:	Fix indentation.

677/29 (table):	Some, if not all, of these are predefined memory locations in Fortran. Would be good to highlight this, like in the earlier table w/ the MPI_BOTTOM inside.

680/9-10:	Add underscores for better legibility. If accepted, impacts the MPI_T chapter.

681/1:	"and mpi module" - could've been handled by a special Fortran 2008 compatibility module instead.
681/4:	Same here.

682/20:	Here and elsewhere: (optionally) add after this line

  END SUBROTINE
END INTERFACE

682/31:	Same.
682/37:	Same.
682/48:	Same.

683/6:	Same.

683/23:	Same.
683/29:	Same.
683/36: Same.

684/5:	Same.
684/10:	Same.
684/16: Same.
684/25:	Same.
684/34:	Same.

759/25-27:	Remove these lines: empty sections.

788/18:	Remove this line: the section is empty.
