[Mpi-forum] MPI_Type_create_hvector vs. MPI_Type_hvector

[Rajeev Thakur]

In MPI-1, the Fortran interface for MPI_Type_hvector did not use an
address-size argument for stride, whereas the C interface did. This was
fixed in MPI-2 by defining a new function MPI_Type_create_vector and
deprecating the old one. Only the "h" version and type_struct needed to
be fixed this way.
