to *not* use the STL as well as removing the STL use from the error handler
routines. This was removing the STL from the C++ bindings (Solaris has 2
versions of the STL; if OMPI uses one and an MPI application wants to use
another, Bad Things happen).
The main idea is to wrap up the C++ callback function pointers and the user's
extra_state into our own struct that is passed as the extra_state to the C
keyval registration along with the intercept routines in intercepts.cc. When the
C++ intercepts are activated, they unwrap the user's callback and extra state
and call them.
This commit was SVN r17409.
The C++ bindings were not tracking keyvals properly -- they were
freeing some internal meta data when Free_keyval() was called, not
when the keyval was actually destroyed (keyvals are refcounted in the
C layer, just like all other MPI objects, because they can live for
long after their corresponding Free call is invoked). This commit
fixes this problem and several other things:
* Add infrastructure on the ompi_attribute_keyval_t for an "extra"
destructor pointer that will be invoked during the "real"
constructor (i.e., when OBJ_RELEASE puts the refcount to 0). This
allows calling back into the C++ layer to release meta data
associated with the keyval.
* Adjust all cases where keyvals are created to pass in relevant
destructors (NULL or the C++ destructor).
* Do essentially the same for MPI::Comm, MPI::Win, and MPI:Datatype:
* Move several functions out of the .cc file into the _inln.h file
since they no longer require locks
* Make the 4 Create_keyval() functions call a common back-end
keyval creation function that does the Right Thing depending on
whether C or C++ function pointers were used for the keyval
functions. The back-end function does not call the corresponding
C MPI_*_create_keyval function, but rather does the work itself
so that it can associate a "destructor" callback for the C++
bindings for when the keyval is actually destroyed.
* Change a few type names to be more indicative of what they are
(mostly dealing with keyvals [not "keys"]).
* Add the 3 missing bindings for MPI::Comm::Create_keyval().
* Remove MPI::Comm::comm_map (and associated types) because it's no
longer necessary in the intercepts -- it was a by-product of being
a portable C++ bindings layer. Now we can just query the C layer
directly to figure out what type a communicator is. This solves
some logistics / callback issues, too.
* Rename several types, variables, and fix many comments in the
back-end C attribute implementation to make the names really
reflect what they are (keyvals vs. attributes). The previous names
heavily overloaded the name "key" and were ''extremely''
confusing.

copy or the delete fn. Fix by overloading the Create_keyval methods.
Fix trac #737, #738. Reviewed by jsquyres.
* A couple of cxx tests in ompi-tests (winkeyval.cc & typekeyval.cc)
will be re-enabled to regression test for this fix.

corrected in the MPI 2.0 errata.
* initialized some variables to make our sensitive sun compiler not to
not warn about them when user apps are compiling.
This commit was SVN r13058.
* Added Create_errhandler for MPI::File
* Make errors_throw_exceptions a first-class predefined exception
handler, and make it work for Comm, File, and Win
* Deal with error handlers and attributes for Files, Types, and Wins
like we do with Comms - can't just cast the callbacks from C++
signatures to C signatures. Callbacks will then fire with the
C object, not the C++ object. That's bad.

This commit was SVN r12945.
The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 455 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/455
(all versions up to and including 20060925). The issue has been
reported to Intel, along with a small [non-MPI] test program that
reproduces the problem (the test program and the OMPI C++ bindings
work fine with Intel C++ 9.0 and many other C++ compilers).
In short, a static initializer for a global variable (i.e., its
constructor is fired before main()) that takes as an argument a
reference to a typedef'd type will simply get the wrong value in the
argument. Specifically:
{{{
namespace MPI {
Intracomm COMM_WORLD(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
}
}}}
The constructor for MPI::Intracomm should get the value of
&ompi_mpi_comm_world. It does not; it seems to get a random value.
As mandated by MPI-2, annex B.13.4, for C/C++ interoperability, the
prototype for this constructor is:
{{{
class Intracomm {
public:
Intracomm(const MPI_Comm& data);
};
}}}
Experiments with icpc 9.1/20060925 have shown that removing the
reference from the prototype makes it work (!). After lots of
discussions about this issue with a C++ expert (Doug Gregor from IU),
we decided the following (cut-n-paste from an e-mail):
-----
> So here's my question: given that OMPI's MPI_<CLASS> types are all
> pointers, is there any legal MPI program that adheres to the above

I don't know of any way that a program could detect this change. FWIW,
the C++ committee has agreed that implementation of the C++ standard
library are allowed to decide arbitrarily between const& and by-value.
If they don't care, MPI users won't care.
When you remove the '&', I suggest also removing the "const". It is
redundant, but can trigger some strange name mangling in Sun's C++
compiler.
-----
So with this change:
* we now work again with the Intel 9.1 compiler
* our C++ bindings do not exactly conform to the MPI-2 spec, but
valid/legal MPI C++ apps cannot tell the difference (i.e., the
functionality is the same)

complete, but stable enough that it will have no impact on general development,
so into the trunk it goes. Changes in this commit include:
- Remove the --with option for disabling MPI-2 onesided support. It
complicated code, and has no real reason for existing
- add a framework osc (OneSided Communication) for encapsulating
all the MPI-2 onesided functionality
- Modify the MPI interface functions for the MPI-2 onesided chapter
to properly call the underlying framework and do the required
error checking
- Created an osc component pt2pt, which is layered over the BML/BTL
for communication (although it also uses the PML for long message
transfers). Currently, all support functions, all communication
functions (Put, Get, Accumulate), and the Fence synchronization
function are implemented. The PWSC active synchronization
functions and Lock/Unlock passive synchronization functions are
still not implemented
