<blockquote type="cite">+1 to almost everything that Jeff said. My only quibble would be to change the last sentence in his text from:<br>
<br>
The contents of returned MPI_CHAR values are only defined from index 0 through the location of the first null-terminating character.<br>
<br>
To:<br>

The contents of returned MPI_CHAR ***arrays*** are only defined from index 0 through the location of the first null-terminating character.<br>

-----<br>
The use of the datatype MPI_CHAR in the MPI tool information interface implies a null-terminated character array, i.e. a string in the C language. If a variable has type MPI_CHAR, the value of the count parameter returned by MPI_T_CVAR_HANDLE_ALLOC and MPI_T_PVAR_HANDLE_ALLOC
will include the null-terminating character. The value returned in count must be large enough to contain any valid value for the given variable. Arrays of type MPI_CHAR are only valid to the first null character.<br>

There's a missing "," after "i.e." -- it should be "i.e.,"<br>

I'd make some other minor changes:<br>

As we discussed in our call, I have drafted new text for ticket 405 which clarifies our intent for the MPI_CHAR datatype to represent strings in the tools interface. Please take a look at the red text for ticket 405 in the attached document and send your comments.<br>
