I'll send out a general note about this in the morning, but for now I'll just notify people through this note that the new simplified "put" commands have been debugged and work just fine. I'll add documentation to the gpr.h file later - only think to really be aware of is that the tokens array must be NULL terminated. Other than that, things work pretty much as you'd expect.
This commit was SVN r6700.
- Add functionality to parse multiple arguments provided in the console
- Cleaned up help function
- Added an option to hide commands from the help menu
Working on launching and reaping of daemons from within the console.
This commit was SVN r6699.
- new preferred API calls for registering MCA parameters are
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string} and
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string}_name.
- See opal/mca/base/mca_base_param.h for docs on new calls.
- Can now register and lookup a value at the same time.
- Can now mark a parameter "read only" at registration time
- Can now mark a parameter "internal" at registration time
- Can now associate a help message with the parameter at registration
time; displayed in the ompi_info output.
The old API calls are still available for backwards compatibility
(mca_base_param_register_{int|string}. They will eventually be
removed -- all developers are encouraged to use the new APIs from here
on out and replace any old calls with the new API.
Some params were also renamed -- the previous convention of using
"base_" as a prefix for any param that was not associated with a
component is henceforth deprecated. Instead, use one of the following
prefixes:
mca: for anything in the MCA base itself
opal: for anything in OPAL
orte: for anything in ORTE
mpi: for anything in OMPI

This required a little fiddling with a number of areas. Biggest problem was that it uncovered a potential for an infinite loop to be created in the registry. If a callback function modified the registry, the registry checked the triggers to see if anything had fired. Well, if the original callback was due to a trigger firing, that condition hadn't changed - so the trigger fired again....which caused the callback to be called, which modified the registry, which checked the triggers, etc. etc.
Triggers are now checked and then "flagged" as being "in process" so that the registry will NOT recheck that trigger until all callbacks have been processed. Tried doing this with subscriptions as well, but that caused a problem - when we release processes from a stagegate, they (at the moment) immediately place data on the registry that should cause a subscription to fire. Unfortunately, the system will just hang if that subscription doesn't get processed. So, I have left the subscription system alone - any callback function that modifies the registry in a fashion that will fire a subscription will indeed fire that subscription. We'll have to see if this causes problems - it shouldn't, but a careless user could lock things up if the callback generates a callback to itself.
Also fixed the code that placed a process' RML contact info on the registry to eliminate the leading '/' from the string.
This commit was SVN r6684.
- Added user help messages.
- Abstracted the internal commands, and the mechanism for
parsing and executing them.
- Cleaned up the command line parsing
- Some other misc. cleanup items.
Still much more work to do here, but should provide a more
intuitive interface for extending functionality in the
system.
This commit was SVN r6676.
more user friendly error messages.
Removed the "--version" command line option, since they should
get this from ompi_info [later to be orte_info].
If we find an invalid command line option print out the help
screen before exiting.
