(perl script written by Jeff)
What started as a simple ticket ended up reaching the way up to the
MPI Forum.
It turns out that we are supposed to have MPI_SIZEOF for all Fortran
interfaces: mpif.h, the mpi module, and the mpi_f08 module.
It further turns out that to properly support MPI_SIZEOF, your Fortran
compiler *has* support the INTERFACE keyword and ISO_FORTRAN_ENV. We
can't use "ignore TKR" functionality, because the whole point of
MPI_SIZEOF is that the implementation knows what type was passed to it
("ignore TKR" functionality, by definition, throws that information
away). Hence, we have to have an MPI_SIZEOF interface+implementation
for all intrinsic types, kinds, and ranks.
This commit therefore adds a perl script that generates both the
interfaces and implementations for MPI_SIZEOF in each of mpif.h, the
mpi module, and mpi_f08 module (yay consolidation!).
The perl script uses the results of some new configure tests:
* check if the Fortran compiler supports the INTERFACE keyword
* check if the Fortran compiler supports ISO_FORTRAN_ENV
* find the max array rank (i.e., dimension) that the compiler supports
If the Fortran compiler supports both INTERFACE and ISO_FORTRAN_ENV,
then we'll build the MPI_SIZEOF interfaces. If not, we'll skip
MPI_SIZEOF in mpif.h and the mpi module. Note that we won't build the
mpi_f08 module -- to include the MPI_SIZEOF interfaces -- if the
Fortran compiler doesn't support INTERFACE, ISO_FORTRAN_ENV, and a
whole bunch of ther modern Fortran stuff.
Since MPI_SIZEOF interfaces are now generated by the perl script, this
commit also removes all the old MPI_SIZEOF implementations (which were
laden with a zillion #if blocks).

Move them all to fortran/use-mpi-f08, since that's the only directory
that uses them (the use-mpi-f08-desc directory has been disabled).

* Remove unused #defines in mpi.h.in
* Add OMPI_PARAM_CHECK in mpi.h.in (so that we can check for it in tests)
* Clean up some comments in mpif-common.h

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.
== More details ==
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.
This commit was SVN r26283.
