* 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.

It appears the problem was not with the command line parser but the rsh plm. I don't know why this problem was not occuring before the command line parser changes but it appears to be resolved now.

We ran into a case where the OMPI SVN trunk grew a new acceptable MCA
parameter value, but this new value was not accepted on the v1.6
branch (hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action -- on the trunk it accepts
the value "silent", but on the older v1.6 branch, it doesn't). If you
set "hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action=silent" in the default MCA
params file and then accidentally ran with the v1.6 branch, every OMPI
executable (including ompi_info) just failed because hwloc_base_open()
would say "hey, 'silent' is not a valid value for
hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action!". Kaboom.
The only problem is that it didn't give you any indication of where
this value was being set. Quite maddening, from a user perspective.
So we changed the ompi_info handles this case. If any framework open
function return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM (either because its base MCA params
got a bad value or because one of its component register/open
functions return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM), ompi_info will stop, print out
a warning that it received and error, and then dump out the parameters
that it has received so far in the framework that had a problem.
At a minimum, this will show the user the MCA param that had an error
(it's usually the last one), and ''where it was set from'' (so that
they can go fix it).
We updated ompi_info to check for O???_ERR_BAD_PARAM from each from
the framework opens. Also updated the doxygen docs in mca.h for this
O???_BAD_PARAM behavior. And we noticed that mca.h had MCA_SUCCESS
and MCA_ERR_??? codes. Why? I think we used them in exactly one
place in the code base (mca_base_components_open.c). So we deleted
those and just used the normal OPAL_* codes instead.
While we were doing this, we also cleaned up a little memory
management during ompi_info/orte-info/opal-info finalization.
Valgrind still reports a truckload of memory still in use at ompi_info
termination, but they mostly look to be components not freeing
memory/resources properly (and outside the scope of this fix).

aren't separated out into individual commits; they represent a few
months of work in the Mercurial branch, and it seemed error-prone to
try to break them up into multiple SVN commits.
* Remove 2nd overloaded interfaces for MPI_TESTALL, MPI_TESTSOME,
MPI_WAITALL, and MPI_WAITSOME in the "mpi" module implementations
(because we're not allowed to have them, anyway -- it causes
complications in the profiling interface). This forced an MPI-2.2
errata in the MPI Forum; we applied the errata here (the array of
statuses parameter could not have a specific dimension specified in
the dummy argument). Fixes trac:3166.
* Similarly, fix type for MPI_ARGVS_NULL in Fortran
* Add MPI_3.0 function MPI_F_SYNC_REG (Fortran interfaces only).
* Add MPI-3.0 MPI_MESSAGE_NO_PROC in the mpi_f08 module.
* Added mpi_f08 handle comparison operators, per MPI-3.0 addendum to
the F08 proposal at the last Forum meeting.
* Added missing type(MPI_File) and type(Message) in mpi_f08 module.
* Fix --disable-mpi-io configure switch with all Fortran interfaces
* Re-factor the Fortran header files to be fundamentally simpler and
easier to maintain. Fortran constant values in the header files
are now generated by a script named mpif-values.pl during
autogen.pl (they were previously generated by mpif-common.pl, but
it was quite a bit more subtle/complex). A second commit will
follow this one to update svn:ignore values (just to ensure we
don't muck up the first commit with the SVN client getting confused
by the changed ignore values and new/changed files).
* Fix some dependencies for compile ordering in
ompi/mpi/fortran/use-mpi-ignore-tkr/Makefile.am.
* Fix bad wording in several places (.m4 file name, ompi_info output,
etc.): we previoulsy said "F08 assumed shape" when we really meant
"F08 assumed rank" (for Fortran gurus, those are very different
things).
* Removed the GREEK/SVN version string from mpif.h. It really had no
purpose being there.
Still to be done:
* Handling of 2D array of strings in MPI_COMM_SPAWN_MULTIPLE still
isn't right yet. Not sure how many people really care about this
:-), but it is still broken.

* Remove paffinity, maffinity, and carto frameworks -- they've been
wholly replaced by hwloc.
* Move ompi_mpi_init() affinity-setting/checking code down to ORTE.
* Update sm, smcuda, wv, and openib components to no longer use carto.
Instead, use hwloc data. There are still optimizations possible in
the sm/smcuda BTLs (i.e., making multiple mpools). Also, the old
carto-based code found out how many NUMA nodes were ''available''
-- not how many were used ''in this job''. The new hwloc-using
code computes the same value -- it was not updated to calculate how
many NUMA nodes are used ''by this job.''
* Note that I cannot compile the smcuda and wv BTLs -- I ''think''
they're right, but they need to be verified by their owners.
* The openib component now does a bunch of stuff to figure out where
"near" OpenFabrics devices are. '''THIS IS A CHANGE IN DEFAULT
BEHAVIOR!!''' and still needs to be verified by OpenFabrics vendors
(I do not have a NUMA machine with an OpenFabrics device that is a
non-uniform distance from multiple different NUMA nodes).
* Completely rewrite the OMPI_Affinity_str() routine from the
"affinity" mpiext extension. This extension now understands
hyperthreads; the output format of it has changed a bit to reflect
this new information.
* Bunches of minor changes around the code base to update names/types
from maffinity/paffinity-based names to hwloc-based names.
* Add some helper functions into the hwloc base, mainly having to do
with the fact that we have the hwloc data reporting ''all''
topology information, but sometimes you really only want the
(online | available) data.

point home that they're deprecated
* Similarly, make mpif77-wrapper-data.txt be a sym link to
mpifirt-wrapper-data.txt (ditto with mpif90)
* Make new mpif77.1 and mpif90.1 man pages that say that they're
deprecated; use mpifort instead
This commit was SVN r26353.
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.
This commit was SVN r26283.
Roll in the ORTE state machine. Remove last traces of opal_sos. Remove UTK epoch code.
Please see the various emails about the state machine change for details. I'll send something out later with more info on the new arch.
This commit was SVN r26242.
* fixed some bugs where "unknown" tokens were allowed on the command
line (which should really only be used for ortertun).
* if an unknown token is encountered, print a short error to stderr
and quit with a nonzero exit status
* if we don't find the right number of parameters to an option, print
a short error to stderr and quit with a nonzero exit status
* when --help is given, print the help message to stdout (not stderr)
and quit with a zero exit status
* added --showme:help option to the wrapper compilers
* updated docs in opal/util/cmd_line.h
* other small/miscellaneous CLI parsing bugs in various tools
I won't bore you with what we did before. :-) Here's some examples
of what the new behavior looks like:
{{{
% ompi_info --bogus
ompi_info: Error: unknown option "--bogus"
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.
% ompi_info --param bogus
ompi_info: Error: option "--param" did not have enough parameters (2)
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.

}}}

Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.
Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

the command line, hwloc is just like any other external dependency
in OMPI: if we find it, we'll use it. If we don't find it, we'll
ignore it. See comments in opal/mca/hwloc/configure.m4 for an
explanation.
* Fix some copy-n-paste errors in opal/mca/hwloc/configure.m4
w.r.t. flags coming in from the winning component.
* Add another line in ompi_info's output about whether hwloc support
is included or not.
