meeting, and RFCed in mid-December (#3424): we no longer build the MPI
C++ bindings by default.
The C++ bindings are still ''there'' -- starting with 1.9, we'll just
be providing a little encouragement to no longer use them.
There are no definite plans to ''remove'' the C++ bindings yet. At
the earliest, we would remove them in the next feature series after
1.9.

which is the same size as a Fortran or C integer. This resulted in configure
coming up with Fortran's MAX_INT as -2^31, which obviously isn't a positive
number. Since we found the MAX_INT using the same broken loop in a couple
places and doing it right is complicated, added a new macro that is much
more careful about sign roll-over.
During the Fortran rework between v1.6 and v1.7, the variable which
indicates whether or not Fortran is being compiled changed, so on platforms
without Fortran compilers, we were trying to determine the max value for
Fortran INTEGERS where we previously didn't. I believe this is why
bug #3374 appeared as a regression.
Finally, since the OMPI code doesn't cope with OMPI_FORTRAN_HANDLE_MAX
being negative (which was the root cause of the segfault in $3374),
add a check at the end of the OMPI_FORTRAN_GET_HANDLE_MAX macro to
ensure that OMPI_FORTRAN_HANDLE_MAX is always non-negative.

config/ directory. We split them apart a while ago in the hopes that
it would simplify things, but it didn't really (e.g., because there
were still some ompi/opal .m4 files in the top-level config/
directory, resulting in developer confusion where any given m4 macro
was defined).
So this commit consolidates them back into the top-level directory for
simplicity.
There's still (at least) two changes that would be nice to make:
1. Split any generated .m4 file (e.g., autogen-generated .m4 files)
into a separate directory somewhere so that a top-level -Iconfig/
will only get our explicitly defined macros, not the autogen stuff
(e.g., with libevent2019 needing to get the visibility macro, but
NOT all the autogen-generated inclusion of component configure.m4
files).
1. Change configure to be of the form:
{{{
# ...a small amount of preamble/setup...
OPAL_SETUP
m4_ifdef([project_orte], [ORTE_SETUP])
m4_ifdef([project_ompi], [OMPI_SETUP])
# ...a small amount of finishing stuff...
}}}
I doubt we'll ever get anything as clean as that, but that would be
the goal to shoot for.

accidentally adding component names to the OMPI_MPIEXT_ALL_SUBDIRS
variable twice; once with mpiext/ and once without. And then
prefixing all of them with mpiext/ again at the end. That wasn't
really necessary :-) -- we only need to add it once (without mpiext/)
and then prefix at the end (for consistency with the
OMPI_MPI_EXT_*_SUBDIRS handling).

did so!). Previously, I forgot to include the case of not specifying
--with-verbs -- oops! So now the OPAL_CHECK_VERBS_DIR macro will:
1. $opal_want_verbs will be set to: "yes" if --with-verbs or
--with-verbs=DIR was specified "no" if --without-verbs was
specified) "optional" if neither --with-verbs* nor --without-verbs
was specified
'''NOTE:''' --with-openib* are deprecated synonyms for --with-verbs*.
1. $opal_verbs_dir and $opal_verbs_libdir with either both be set or
both be empty.
This commit was SVN r26654.
* Add new configure command line options and deprecate some old ones:
* --with-verbs replaces --with-openib
* --with-verbs-libdir replaces --with-openib-libdir
* If you specify --with-openib[-libdir] without
--with-verbs[-libdir], you'll get a "these options have been
deprecated!" warning, but then they'll act just like
--with-verbs[--libdir].
'''Sidenote:''' Note that we are not renaming any components at this
time, nor are we renaming the top-level OMPI_CHECK_OPENIB m4 macro
(which is pretty strongly tied to the openib BTL and is bastaridzed
by the ofud BTL). Note that there will likely be more changes in
this area coming soon (next week?) when some long-standing changes
move to the SVN trunk: some openib BTL infrastructure will move to
ompi/mca/common, and its configury gets split up / refactored.
We extend our philosophy of other --with-<foo> configure options of
--with-verbs to ''all'' verbs-lovin components:
* If you specify --with-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components must
configure successfully (or abort). This currently means: OOB ud,
BTL ofud, BTL openib.
* If you specify --with-verbs=DIR, then all verbs-lovin' component
must configure successfully (or abort), and will use DIR to find
verbs headers and libraries.
* If you specify --without-verbs, then all verbs-lovin' components
will be ignored.
This commit also fixes a problem where the --with-openib=DIR form
would not use DIR for ''all'' verbs-lovin' components (I think only
BTL openib and BTL ofud used that DIR). Now all of them do, as does
hwloc (because hwloc has some !OpenFabrics helper functions that
require ibv types from verbs.h).
There's a little new m4 infrastructure worth mentioning:
* If you create a new verbs-lovin' component (i.e., a component that
need verbs), your configure.m4 should
AC_REQUIRE([OPAL_CHECK_VERBS_DIR]).
* You can then use three global shell variables: $opal_want_verbs,
$opal_verbs_dir, $opal_verbs_libdir, which will be set as follows:
* opal_want_verbs will be "yes" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set to directory values, '''OR'''
* opal_want_verbs will be "no" and opal_verbs_dir and
opal_verbs_libdir will both be set empty

to Eugene for identifying these issues. Hopefully this will fix up
the problems Oracle is having with compiling the new Fortran stuff.

the case where we have a really ancient Fortran compiler that does not
support ISO_C_BINDING, but need to test to be sure that the new
configury works.
This commit was SVN r26290.
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.

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.

prototyping new MPI functionality. The C++ bindings are officially
deprecated, and are (currently) 1 vote away from being removed from
MPI-3 altogether. So let's whack the C++ stuff from mpiext.

OMPI supports multiple different repository systems (SVN, hg, git).
But the VERSION file has listed "want_svn" and "svn_r" as fields, even
though the actual repo system and version may not be SVN.
So search/replace those fields (and derrivative values that come from
those fields) with "want_repo_rev" and "repo_rev", respectively.

`autogen.pl` to properly handle all Sun Fortran version strings.
This commit was SVN r24080.
The following SVN revision numbers were found above:
r24076 --> open-mpi/ompi@ca0b0efada
Note: the ompi_check_libfca.m4 file had to be modified to avoid it stomping on global CPPFLAGS and the like. The file was also relocated to the ompi/config directory as it pertains solely to an ompi-layer component.
Forgive the mid-day configure change, but I know Shiqing is working the windows issues and don't want to cause him unnecessary redo work.

This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.
