that were set on the command line. This was techinically exactly the
way the code was designed, but it certainly violated the Law of Least
Astonishment (even to its designer ;-) ). So now if you execute
something like this:
mpirun -mca pls_rsh_debug 1 -np 4 hello
You'll see debugging output from the rsh pls component, as you would
expect (this was not previously the case -- the MCA pls_rsh_debug
parame would be set to 1 in the 4 spawned hello processes, but *not*
in the orterun process).
More specifically, MCA parameters will be set in the orterun process
in the following cases:
- The new command line switch "--gmca" (or "-gmca") is used,
indicating that the MCA parameter is "global". --gmca also means
that that MCA parameter will be applied to all context app's. For
example:
mpirun -gmca foo bar -np 1 hello : -np 2 goodbye
The foo MCA param will be set in both the hello and goodbye
processes.
- If there is only one context app. For example:
mpirun -mca pls_rsh_debug 1 -np 4 hello
will set pls_rsh_debug to 1 in both the orterun process and the 4
spawned hello processes.
Also added a few more comments inside orterun to document a somewhat
confusing use of a state variable in a recursive case.
