[Mpi-forum] New Fortran bindings - Final reviews for formal first reading in Santorini

Fri Sep 9 01:56:33 CDT 2011

Dear all,

there was a question, which file should be reviewed.
Here my answer:

It is a really huge ticket that needs the review-support of
all chapter responsibles. I try to sort it out:

A) Normal chapter-reviewers: 
Officially, reviewers have to review always the reviewdoc, i.e.,
  mpi-report-F2008-2011-09-08-reviewdoc.pdf
This means, one must mainly review the diff, i.e., the red portions
marked with ticket. This is recommended for the normal chapter reviewers.

B) Fortran-Chapter-Reviewers:
For Section 16.2 "Fortran Support", it is strongly recommended to review
  mpi-report-F2008-2011-09-08-changeonlyplustickets.pdf
because this is the only readable form of this section.
This means one must read the total Section 16.2 as a whole (black and red).

C) For owners of MPI-3 tickets:
Please take 
  mpi-report-F2008-2011-09-08-changeonlyplustickets.pdf
and check for Annex B.4.
The interfaces are always two:
 - the new mpif_f08
 - and the old mpi.
The old one (i.e., the second form) must be checked whether 
it is identical to your latest version of your ticket.
The new one (i.e., the first form) must be checked
whether it is correctly mapped to mpi_f08.

D) All:
If one wants to make handwritten marks, for example on travel,
then I recommend to print
  mpi-report-F2008-2011-09-08-changeonlyplustickets_majorpages.pdf
and in
  mpi-report-F2008-2011-09-08-changeonlyplustickets.pdf
the Annexes A.3 (p.553-695) and B.4 (p.753-770).

As already said, it is huge. It touches 140 pages (...majorpages.pdf)
and contains 43 pages of new interfaces for MPI-2.2 (Annex A.3)
and additionally 18 pages for MPI-3.0 tickets (Annex B.4)

E) Compilation-Check:
If you want compile the module interface, then you must download
  mpi-3.0-all-interfaces-08-f2003.f90

F) If you want to see, how it looks like in the future
if you have a F2008+TR29113 compiler, then you must look at
  mpi-3.0-all-interfaces-12-f2008TR29113.f90

G) and finally, the file
  mpi-3.0-all-interfaces-07-f2008.f90
contains exactly what is part of the pdf files Annex A.3.
To be more exact, this is the starting point of all
the interfaces in the pdf files and of the other two
.f90 files. All is done by a set of macros, translating this
only one basis into Latex and real Fortran F2003 and F2008+TR29113.
(the .2 version is a double uploading, it should be removed
but I have no rights to remove such duplicated files
Jeff may help?)

Best regards
Rolf
