includes the romio component. Only blocking operations are supported
-- non-blocking stuff is pending some changes in the top-level
progression engine, and some threaded issues need to be worked out.
This commit was SVN r2655.
somewhat tied together and I'd rather have a consistent commit rather
than several smaller commits that individually break the tree:
- first cut of src/file/file.c: MPI_File handling. More to come here.
- tweaked MPI_Info handling a bit: cause MPI_Info_f2c to invoke error
handler if provided index is out of range (vs. returing
MPI_INFO_NULL without invoking an error handler)
- moved general MPI MCA params off into their own .h and .c file (so
that ompi_info can call it and therefore display MPI MCA params)
- first [abbreviated] cut of src/mca/io/base/* -- much more to come
here; stripped down to basics for this commit
- filled in a small number of MPI_File* functions for testing purposes
- updated a bunch of doxygen docs
--> Unresolved questions about MPI_ERRORS_RETURN, MPI_ERRORS_ABORT,
and MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS because of vagueness in MPI
standard -- Edgar and I are discussing what to do here
--> Unresolved questions about what to do in a case like this:
MPI_File_open(..., &file);
MPI_File_close(&file);
MPI_File_read(..., &file);
because MPI-2:9.7 says that the default error handler on MPI_File
handles is MPI_ERRORS_RETURN -- we can't even print a warning
here! This certainly violates the Law of Least Astonishment for
MPI users (who certainly expect MPI functions that fail to
complain loudly and to abort by default).
