These two macros set the prefix for the OPAL and ORTE libraries,
respectively. Specifically, the OPAL library will be named
libPREFIXopen-pal.la and the ORTE library will be named
libPREFIXopen-rte.la.
These macros must be called, even if the prefix argument is empty.
The intent is that Open MPI will call these macros with an empty
prefix, but other projects (such as ORCM) will call these macros with
a non-empty prefix. For example, ORCM libraries can be named
liborcm-open-pal.la and liborcm-open-rte.la.
This scheme is necessary to allow running Open MPI applications under
systems that use their own versions of ORTE and OPAL. For example,
when running MPI applications under ORTE, if the ORTE and OPAL
libraries between OMPI and ORCM are not identical (which, because they
are released at different times, are likely to be different), we need
to ensure that the OMPI applications link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries, but the ORCM executables link against their ORTE and OPAL
libraries.
the OPAL and ORTE libraries. This is required by projects such as ORCM
that have their own ORTE and OPAL libraries in order to avoid library
confusion. By renaming their version of the libraries, the OMPI
applications can correctly dynamically load the correct one for their
build."
This reverts commit 63f619f871.
* Clean up ${includedir} and ${libdir} for script wrapper compilers
* Update script wrapper compilers to work like the C wrapper compilers w.r.t static and dynamic linking
* Remove the ORTE script wrapper compilers since they didn't support the ${includedir} stuff and Ralph said they weren't used anymore.
This commit was SVN r28052.
flags, and mca flags are kept seperate until the very end. The main configure
wrapper flags should now be modified by using the OPAL_WRAPPER_FLAGS_ADD
macro. MCA components should either let <framework>_<component>_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}
be copied over OR set <framework>_<component>_WRAPPER_EXTRA_{LIBS,LDFLAGS}.
The situations in which WRAPPER CPPFLAGS can be set by MCA components was
made very small to match the one use case where it makes sense.
This commit was SVN r27950.
* Add some comments in the *-wrapper-data-txt.in files just so that
someone doesn't forget in the future why we link in what we do in
the MPI and ORTE wrapper compilers.
* Update ompi_wrapper_script.in to match the new behavior.
* Update orte_wrapper_script.in to support --openmpi:linkall (which
is a no-op in this case)

additional functionality. Rationale (refs trac:3422):
* Normal MPI applications only ever use the MPI API. Hence, -lmpi is
sufficient (they'll never directly call ORTE or OPAL
functions). This is arguably the most common case.
* That being said, we do have some test programs (e.g., those in
orte/test/mpi) that call MPI functions but also call ORTE/OPAL
functions. I've also written the occasional MPI test program that
calls opal_output, for example (there even might be a few tests in
the IBM test suite that directly call ORTE/OPAL functions).
* Even though this is not a common case, these applications should
also compile/link with mpicc.
* So we should add a --openmpi:linkall option that will also link
in whatever is necessary to call ORTE/OPAL functions
* Yes, we could hard-code "-lopen-rte -lopen-pal" in Makefiles, but
we do reserve the right to change those library names and/or add
others someday, so it's better to abstract out the names and let
the wrapper supply whatever is necessary.
* ORTE programs, however, are different. They almost always call OPAL
functions (e.g., if they want to send a message, they must use the
OPAL DSS). As such, it seems like the ORTE programs should always
link in OPAL.
Therefore:
* Add undocumented --openmpi:linkall flag to the wrapper compilers.
See the comment in opal_wrapper.c for an explanation of what it
does. This flag is only intended for Open MPI developers -- not
end users. That's why it's undocumented.
* Update orte/test/mpi/Makefile.am to add --openmpi:linkall
* Make ortecc/ortec++'s wrapper data text files always explicitly
link in libopen-pal

1. Restore libopen-pal.la, libopen-rte.la, and libmpi.la to be
separate entities (i.e., don't have libopen-rte.la include
libopen-pal.la, and don't have libmpi.la include libopen-pal.la).
Yay!
1. Consequently, make the wrapper compilers look for flags indicating
that the user wants to compile statically (currently: -static,
!--static, -Bstatic, and "-Wl," in front of all of those). If it
is, follow a 6-way matrix for determinining which libraries to
list on the underlying command line.
1. To support that, add the name of a token static and dynamic
library to look for in each of the wrapper compiler data files.
1. Fix a long-standing typo in the opalcc wrapper data file.
This commit was SVN r27662.
1. New mpifort wrapper compiler: you can utilize mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08 through this one wrapper compiler
1. mpif77 and mpif90 still exist, but are sym links to mpifort and may be removed in a future release
1. The mpi module has been re-implemented and is significantly "mo' bettah"
1. The mpi_f08 module offers many, many improvements over mpif.h and the mpi module
This stuff is coming from a VERY long-lived mercurial branch (3 years!); it'll almost certainly take a few SVN commits and a bunch of testing before I get it correctly committed to the SVN trunk.
== More details ==
Craig Rasmussen and I have been working with the MPI-3 Fortran WG and Fortran J3 committees for a long, long time to make a prototype MPI-3 Fortran bindings implementation. We think we're at a stable enough state to bring this stuff back to the trunk, with the goal of including it in OMPI v1.7.
Special thanks go out to everyone who has been incredibly patient and helpful to us in this journey:
* Rolf Rabenseifner/HLRS (mastermind/genius behind the entire MPI-3 Fortran effort)
* The Fortran J3 committee
* Tobias Burnus/gfortran
* Tony !Goetz/Absoft
* Terry !Donte/Oracle
* ...and probably others whom I'm forgetting :-(
There's still opportunities for optimization in the mpi_f08 implementation, but by and large, it is as far along as it can be until Fortran compilers start implementing the new F08 dimension(..) syntax.
Note that gfortran is currently unsupported for the mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module. gfortran users will a) fall back to the same mpi module implementation that is in OMPI v1.5.x, and b) not get the new mpi_f08 module. The gfortran maintainers are actively working hard to add the necessary features to support both the new mpi_f08 module and the new mpi module implementations. This will take some time.
As mentioned above, ompi/mpi/f77 and ompi/mpi/f90 no longer exist. All the fortran bindings implementations have been collated under ompi/mpi/fortran; each implementation has its own subdirectory:
{{{
ompi/mpi/fortran/
base/ - glue code
mpif-h/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f77
use-mpi-tkr/ - what used to be ompi/mpi/f90
use-mpi-ignore-tkr/ - new mpi module implementation
use-mpi-f08/ - new mpi_f08 module implementation
}}}
There's also a prototype 6-function-MPI implementation under use-mpi-f08-desc that emulates the new F08 dimension(..) syntax that isn't fully available in Fortran compilers yet. We did that to prove it to ourselves that it could be done once the compilers fully support it. This directory/implementation will likely eventually replace the use-mpi-f08 version.
Other things that were done:
* ompi_info grew a few new output fields to describe what level of Fortran support is included
* Existing Fortran examples in examples/ were renamed; new mpi_f08 examples were added
* The old Fortran MPI libraries were renamed:
* libmpi_f77 -> libmpi_mpifh
* libmpi_f90 -> libmpi_usempi
* The configury for Fortran was consolidated and significantly slimmed down. Note that the F77 env variable is now IGNORED for configure; you should only use FC. Example:
{{{
shell$ ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort ...
}}}
All of this work was done in a Mercurial branch off the SVN trunk, and hosted at Bitbucket. This branch has got to be one of OMPI's longest-running branches. Its first commit was Tue Apr 07 23:01:46 2009 -0400 -- it's over 3 years old! :-) We think we've pulled in all relevant changes from the OMPI trunk (e.g., Fortran implementations of the new MPI-3 MPROBE stuff for mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08, and the recent Fujitsu Fortran patches).
I anticipate some instability when we bring this stuff into the trunk, simply because it touches a LOT of code in the MPI layer in the OMPI code base. We'll try our best to make it as pain-free as possible, but please bear with us when it is committed.
