Notes:
- This commit also eliminates the need for an available components list in use
in several frameworks. None of the code in question was making use of the
priority field of the priority component list item so these extra lists were
removed.
- Cleaned up selection code in several frameworks to sort lists using opal_list_sort.
- Cleans up the ompi/orte-info functions. Expose the functions that construct the
list of params so they can be used elsewhere.
patches for mtl/portals4 from brian
missed a few output variables in openib
This commit was SVN r28241.
Lenny and I went back and forth on whether we should simply register
another "mpi_paffinity_alone" MCA param and then try to figure out
which one was set in ompi_mpi_init, but there was difficulty in
figuring out what to do. So it seemed like the Right Thing to do was
to implement what was committed in r18770; then we could tell where
MCA parameters were set from and you could do Better Things (this is
also useful in the openib BTL, where parameters can be set either via
MCA parameter or via an INI file).
But after that was done, it seemed only a few steps further to
actually implement two new features in the MCA params area:
* Synonyms (where one MCA param name is a synonym for another)
* Allow MCA params and/or their synonyms to be marked as "deprecated"
(printing out warnings if they are used)
These features have actually long been discussed/desired, and I had
some time in airports and airplanes recently where I could work in
this stuff on a standalone laptop. So I did it. :-)
This commit introduces these two new features, and then uses them to
register mpi_paffinity_alone as a non-deprecated synonym for
opal_paffinity_alone. A few other random points in this commit:
* Add a few error checks for conditions that were not checked before
* Correct some comments in mca_base_params.h
* Add a few comments in strategic places
* ompi_info now prints additional information:
* for any MCA parameter that has synonyms, it lists all the
synonyms
* synonyms are also output as 1st-class MCA params, but with an
additional attribute indicating that they have a "parent"
* all MCA param name (both "real" or "synonym") will output an
attribute indicating whether it is deprecated or not. A synonym
is deprecated if it iself is marked as deprecated (via the
mca_base_param_regist_syn() or mca_base_param_register_syn_name()
functions) or if its "parent" MCA parameter is deprecated

* Updated the contributed man page with some examples and
updated option descriptions, and other small things.
* Made the --hostname option work again.
* Made the --version option work like it's supposed to.
* Updated help strings that are displayed via --help to be a bit more
descriptive in the parameters that various options accept.

compiler suite. The rule is that ompi_info.h is supposed to be the
''first'' file included so that it can affect system header files if
necessary (and it is sometimes necessary, such as with the PGI
compiler suite).
If this breaks VC on Windows, we'll have to find another fix. More on
the mailing list...

- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

a random string of characters as part of the version number (the really
soon to happen 1.0lanl release and the 1.1sc2005 release that we've
talked about). So rather than having alpha and beta fields that must
be numeric values, have a general field that can be any alphanumeric
value.

- 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

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
