[MPIWG Fortran] Dec mtg: MPI 4: deprecate SIZEOF and mpif.h

[Bill Long]

Seems reasonable to me.  

Are there plans for a Webex meeting for the Fortran working group before the December MPI meeting in San Jose?  This is a “vacation challenged” time of the year - I’m scheduled to be in the office only 3 days between December 5 and 31. 

How does MPI define “deprecate”?  For example,  would any new feature/function be excluded from mpif.h?   Personally, I think that would be a good idea - it simplifies maintenance of the distribution and emphasizes that mpif.h is for legacy use only.  But I can imagine other opinions. 

Cheers,
Bill
