[Mpi-forum] C++ types inaccessible after #281

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

The discussion of the "C++ types inaccessible after #281"
is continued on the new ticket #340
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/340

I tried to put all interested people in the CC of #340,
but I'm not sure.
And I tried to find a solution based on the discussion so fare.

Please add yourself to that CC list, and please continue 
the discussion on #340 and not on this email track.

Rolf
