Don't let app_files trump given prefix values. Assign according to following precedence rules:
1. absolute path to mpirun, if given
2. --prefix value, if given to mpirun
3. default prefix, if configured with --enable-orterun-prefix-default
4. prefix from first app in app_file, if given
5. no prefix

* fixed some bugs where "unknown" tokens were allowed on the command
line (which should really only be used for ortertun).
* if an unknown token is encountered, print a short error to stderr
and quit with a nonzero exit status
* if we don't find the right number of parameters to an option, print
a short error to stderr and quit with a nonzero exit status
* when --help is given, print the help message to stdout (not stderr)
and quit with a zero exit status
* added --showme:help option to the wrapper compilers
* updated docs in opal/util/cmd_line.h
* other small/miscellaneous CLI parsing bugs in various tools
I won't bore you with what we did before. :-) Here's some examples
of what the new behavior looks like:
{{{
% ompi_info --bogus
ompi_info: Error: unknown option "--bogus"
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.
% ompi_info --param bogus
ompi_info: Error: option "--param" did not have enough parameters (2)
Type 'ompi_info --help' for usage.
%
}}}

Remove the OMPI_PREFIX_ENV environmental variable as that was totally confusing as a way of setting a tmpdir base location.

Turns out, this isn't necessarily true. The Cray, for example, launches processes in a toroidal pattern, thus causing the daemons to wind up somewhere other than what we thought. Other environments (e.g., slurm) are also capable of such behavior, depending upon the default mapping algorithm they are told to use.
Resolve this problem by making the daemon-to-node assignment in the affected environments when the daemon calls back and tells us what node it is on. Order the nodes in the mapping list so they are in daemon-vpid order as opposed to the order in which they show in the allocation. For environments that don't exhibit this mapping behavior (e.g., rsh), this won't have any impact.
Also, clean up the vm launch procedure a little bit so it more closely aligns with the state machine implementation that is coming, and remove some lingering "slave" code.

Brian dealt with this in the past by creating platform files and using "no-build" to block the components. This was clunky, but acceptable when only one organization was using that option. However, that number has now expanded to at least two more locations.
Accordingly, make --without-rte-support actually work by adding appropriate configury to prevent components from building when they shouldn't. While doing so, remove two frameworks (db and rmcast) that are no longer used as ORCM comes to a close (besides, they belonged in ORCM now anyway). Do some minor cleanups along the way.

The wiki page is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to complete it over the next few days. I will provide updates on the devel list. As the wiki page states, the default and most commonly used options remain unchanged (except as noted below). New, esoteric and complex options have been added, but unless you are a true masochist, you are unlikely to use many of them beyond perhaps an initial curiosity-motivated experimentation.
In a nutshell, this commit revamps the map/rank/bind procedure to take into account topology info on the compute nodes. I have, for the most part, preserved the default behaviors, with three notable exceptions:
1. I have at long last bowed my head in submission to the system admin's of managed clusters. For years, they have complained about our default of allowing users to oversubscribe nodes - i.e., to run more processes on a node than allocated slots. Accordingly, I have modified the default behavior: if you are running off of hostfile/dash-host allocated nodes, then the default is to allow oversubscription. If you are running off of RM-allocated nodes, then the default is to NOT allow oversubscription. Flags to override these behaviors are provided, so this only affects the default behavior.
2. both cpus/rank and stride have been removed. The latter was demanded by those who didn't understand the purpose behind it - and I agreed as the users who requested it are no longer using it. The former was removed temporarily pending implementation.
3. vm launch is now the sole method for starting OMPI. It was just too darned hard to maintain multiple launch procedures - maybe someday, provided someone can demonstrate a reason to do so.
As Jeff stated, it is impossible to fully test a change of this size. I have tested it on Linux and Mac, covering all the default and simple options, singletons, and comm_spawn. That said, I'm sure others will find problems, so I'll be watching MTT results until this stabilizes.

ason to return the topology from every daemon. Borrow a page from the --hetero-apps page and let users indicate that the node topology differs by adding a --
hetero-nodes option to mpirun. If the option is set, then every daemon returns topology info. If not set, then only daemon vpid=1 returns it.
We always want one daemon to return the topology as the head node is often different from the compute nodes. Having one daemon return the compute node topolo
gy allows us to detect any such difference. All compute nodes are then set to the same topology.
This commit was SVN r25408.
Don't automatically display the topology for each node when --display-devel-map is set as it can overwhelm the reader. Use a separate flag --display-topo to get it.

It was agreed that opal_init_util had wound up being used in unintended ways, which raised the problem of getting reference counts to work right. However, fixing it would involve more pain than it was worth - and so long as the other layers are made to behave similarly, I have no preference either way.
Complete implementation will follow - for now, this just reverts the prior changes.

Provide a new MCA param that allows the user to direct that we abort the job once a process exits with non-zero status. No recovery is allowed in such cases to avoid trying to restart a process that has already exited MPI.
This commit was SVN r24614.
For some time, ORTE has had the ability to launch daemons on all nodes prior to launching an application. It has largely been used outside of the OMPI community, and so was never explicitly turned "on" inside OMPI releases. Nevertheless, the code has been there.
Allowing VM launches does not require ANY changes to existing PLM components. All that was required was to have orterun launch the daemons as a separate call to orte_plm.spawn -prior- to launching the applications. The rest of the VM support code resides in the rmaps framework:
(a) a check when asked to map a job to see if it is the daemon job, and
(b) a separate "setup_virtual_machine" mapper in the rmaps base that creates the required map so the PLM's will do the right thing.
In order to support those users who have no RM allocation but like to give the allocation in the form of a -host or -hostfile argument to their application, there is a little more code in orterun and the setup_virtual_machine mapper to capture information passed in that manner.
This has been tested with rsh and slurm environments, and, since there is nothing environment-specific in the implementation, should work in others as well - but needs to be proven.

Cleanup the heartbeat handling so it is associated with the proc, not a node.
Cleanup handling of recovery options so that defaults do not override user values iff they are provided.

(http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/01/15427.php), the
--tv (and friends) switches to mpirun would effectively munge the
orterun command line together and then split it apart again before
exec'ing the underlying debugger. We would therefore lose multi-token
argv[x] value and split them into multiple tokens. For example:
mpirun --tv -np 2 a.out "foo bar"
would get launched with "foo" and "bar" as separate arguments; not one
argument. This was due to the underlying code joining the argv into a
single string and then re-splitting it. This commit removed the argv
join; it now does the parsing and re-jigering of the argv by only
looking at each individual argv item; multi-word tokens like "foo bar"
will never be split into separate tokens.

It's not possible to combine two shared libraries on Windows, so we have to do it a bit different. First generate a small event static library by just linking the object files, and link it into other libraries that needs the libevent API.
This commit was SVN r24039.
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.
