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.

Note that the previous patch allowed the following test to -pass-:
ompi-tests/mpich_tester/mpich_pt2pt/truncmult.c
This patch makes that test -fail- due to the assumption that MPI_Wait will update the status.MPI_ERROR field. In Open MPI we do not do this, so the MPI_ERROR field being inspected will remain set to MPI_ERR_PENDING. See comments in req_wait.c for why we do this.
If we change the test to not inspect the MPI_ERROR field after calling MPI_Wait successfully, then the test would pass correctly with this patch.

to *not* use the STL as well as removing the STL use from the error handler
routines. This was removing the STL from the C++ bindings (Solaris has 2
versions of the STL; if OMPI uses one and an MPI application wants to use
another, Bad Things happen).
The main idea is to wrap up the C++ callback function pointers and the user's
extra_state into our own struct that is passed as the extra_state to the C
keyval registration along with the intercept routines in intercepts.cc. When the
C++ intercepts are activated, they unwrap the user's callback and extra state
and call them.

This commit fixes several aspects regarding MPI conformance of requests.
* Eliminate the last argument of ompi_errhandler_request_invoke(); we
''always'' want to invoke the back-end exception handler with the
real error code.
* Make it clear in comments that we only invoke the ''first''
exception in a given array of requests, even if there's more than
one request with a non-MPI_SUCCESS value for MPI_ERROR.
* Defer the freeing of requests upon exception in the back-end
functions to MPI_WAIT* and MPI_TEST* until later; the requests are
kept so that we know what handler to invoke when we actually invoke
the exception. After figuring that out, ''then'' we free requests
with pending exceptions on them.
* Clean up return codes from the back-end MPI_TEST* and MPI_WAIT*
functions.
* Slightly modify ompi_errcode_get_mpi_code() to return unity if it
receives an MPI error code (vs. an OMPI error code).

* For MPI_TEST, MPI_TESTANY, MPI_WAIT, and MPI_WAITANY (i.e., the
TEST/WAIT functions that return up to exactly one completed
request), return the actual error code.
* For MPI_TESTALL, MPI_TESTSOME, MPI_WAITALL, MPI_WAITSOME, (i.e.,
the TEST/WAIT functions that can return more than one completed
request), return MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS.

* Create a new request type: NOOP (described below)
* For all MPI_*_INIT functions, OBJ_NEW an ompi_request_t and set its
type to NOOP
* Ensure that the NOOP requests are OBJ_RELEASE'd when they are done
* MPI_START looks at the request type; if NOOP, just return success. If
not, call the PML start() function
* MPI_STARTALL always pass the entire array of requests back to the PML
(see next point)
* Make the PMLs only process PML requests (i.e., ignore/skip anything
that isn't of type PML -- such as the NOOP requests)
* Add a little more param error checking in STARTALL

- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,

complete, but stable enough that it will have no impact on general development,
so into the trunk it goes. Changes in this commit include:
- Remove the --with option for disabling MPI-2 onesided support. It
complicated code, and has no real reason for existing
- add a framework osc (OneSided Communication) for encapsulating
all the MPI-2 onesided functionality
- Modify the MPI interface functions for the MPI-2 onesided chapter
to properly call the underlying framework and do the required
error checking
- Created an osc component pt2pt, which is layered over the BML/BTL
for communication (although it also uses the PML for long message
transfers). Currently, all support functions, all communication
functions (Put, Get, Accumulate), and the Fence synchronization
function are implemented. The PWSC active synchronization
functions and Lock/Unlock passive synchronization functions are
still not implemented
