[MPI3 Fortran] Fwd: [Mpi-comments] MPI 3.0:Fortran 2008 interface - issue with the LOGICAL kind

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

Malcolm and all MPI implementors,
and TOOLS implementors,

First Malcolm, thank you for your helpful answer.
After all the discussion, the MPI-3.0 errata decision is
very simple: Remove BIND(C) everywhere where LOGICAL is around.

I did it in the ticket #364
https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/364

I hope that one of the implementors with Fortran knowledge goes 
through my proposal and returns an "okay" as a review on the ticket.

The major changes:
 - BIND(C) removed on all callback abstract interfaces.
 - BIND(C) removed on all predefined callbacks.
 - Creating a new routine group "MPI_TEST" for all MPI routines
   with LOGICAL arguments, except MPI_OP_CREATE, which is already 
   in an own group.
 - Telling that the routines in the groups MPI_TEST, 
   MPI_OP_CREATE, MPI_REGISTER_DATEREP, and MPI_COMM_KEYVAL_CREATE
   cannot be implemented with BIND(C) in Fortran 2008 + TS 29113 and earlier. 

TOOLS implementors should be aware that I added this new routine group.

Best regards
Rolf
