We *never* change the document LaTex with an errata vote. Errata
items are collected into a separate document, which is updated as
items are approved. The standard consists of the document plus
approved errata items. This is the same process that was used with
MPI 2.0. Errata items normally should reference the page/line number
in the relevant document (in this case, the 2.2 document); in this
particular case, the errata was created before the final line and page
numbers were available, and the Forum agreed that it was better to fix
this through the errata process rather than delay the MPI 2.2
document. In this particular case, the precise errata item is
In MPI 2.2, on page 433, line 22, change
MPI_C_BOOL 4
to
MPI_C_BOOL 1
I've updated the description to reflect this, as we discussed before
the vote.
Once an item has been voted on twice, I will prepare a PDF containing
these items and add that to the MPI Forum web site as official errata
(again, this is what we did for MPI 2.0).
The process of creating a new version of the document is not part of
the errata process. Should another version be desired, the errata
should be folded into it. That is what we did with MPI 2.1.
