[MPI3 Fortran] Fwd: Pre-review - New Fortran bindings - Formal reading

Sat Aug 27 02:01:18 CDT 2011

Dear chapter authors, Fortran reviewers, and authors of MPI-3 tickets,

I sent this also through the Forum list, 
because some of the MPI-3 ticket authors are missing in the
individual list.

And there may be others with interest on Fortran+MPI.

Best regards
Rolf

Subject: Pre-review - New Fortran bindings - Formal reading

Dear chapter authors, Fortran reviewers, and authors of MPI-3 tickets

the New Fortran bindings is prepared for reviewing.
Please, now I need your help for the reviewing process.

https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/229/mpi-report-F2008-2011-08-26-changeonlyplustickets.pdf
and
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/attachment/ticket/229/mpi-report-F2008-2011-08-26-reviewdoc.pdf

All these pre-reviews should be done until Aug. 31.

  Please print the pages simplex where you make comments,
  scan in and please send the scanned pdf back to me.
  Longer new texts please also be email.
  Please use the changeonlyplustickets.pdf for commenting
  because it is more readable.
  For a precise review, you may also want to look at 'all'
  the deleted texts in the full reviewdoc.pdf

This is only a pre-review, i.e., your wishes can be included
in the version that will be published 2 weeks before
Santorini for final reviews reported at Santorini.

Please check you chapter very carefully.

Not finished issues in this version:
- Callbacks in mpi_f08: 
  - The abstract interfaces will be will be BIND(C) 
  - We check for abstract interfaces with TYPE(*), DIMENSION(*)
    for the two callbacks with choice-buffers
- Tools and linker names:
  - we must allow to have duplicate versions for
    with/without TR29113 only for the choice-buffer routines
- Cray-Pointer on MPI_ALLOC_MEM will be deprecated,
  i.e., overloading is only with mpi module,
  mpi_fo8 will have only the new interface.
  But same interface for MPI_Free_mem for all three methods.
- String-OUT-arguments with fixed lengths were possible. 
- Example for splitting data to allow overlapping of
  communication and computation without hurting
  the ....affector rules for the ASYNCHRONOUS attribute. 

Next steps:
- You review until Aug.31
  Please print the pages simplex where you make comments,
  scan in and please send the scanned pdf back to me.
  Longer new texts please also be email.
- I put in your review results between Sep.1 and Sep.8,
  I work page by page, therefore I need these scanned printouts.
- Sep.8: Final version for official reading and your final 
  reviewing.
- Sep.21: Your final review should be finished
- Sep.22-24: you or somebody acting for you will present your 
  review in Santorini.
