Other changes:
- Added a flag to the MCA variable system to indicate a variable should go away
when its group does. Both mca_base_framework_var_register() and
mca_base_component_var_register() set this flag.
Notes:
- mca_base_components_open is deprecated. It will be removed in a future commit.
- All frameworks should use MCA_BASE_FRAMEWORK_DECLARE to declare their
framework structure.
- All calls to framework open/close functions should be changed to use the
mca_base_framework_* functions.
- Instead of special-casing installdirs a flag was added to prevent calling
into the variable system when opening a framework.
- Ralph: Clarify the functional definition of the "register" function in the
MCA framework object - it had the same name as another function that does a
totally different thing.
- As per discussion with Ralph the behavior of mca_base_framework_register()
is to always call mca_base_framework_components_register() if the framework's
register function was successful. This removed the need for frameworks to
have to call this function directly.

Features:
- Support for an override parameter file (openmpi-mca-param-override.conf).
Variable values in this file can not be overridden by any file or environment
value.
- Support for boolean, unsigned, and unsigned long long variables.
- Support for true/false values.
- Support for enumerations on integer variables.
- Support for MPIT scope, verbosity, and binding.
- Support for command line source.
- Support for setting variable source via the environment using
OMPI_MCA_SOURCE_<var name>=source (either command or file:filename)
- Cleaner API.
- Support for variable groups (equivalent to MPIT categories).
Notes:
- Variables must be created with a backing store (char **, int *, or bool *)
that must live at least as long as the variable.
- Creating a variable with the MCA_BASE_VAR_FLAG_SETTABLE enables the use of
mca_base_var_set_value() to change the value.
- String values are duplicated when the variable is registered. It is up to
the caller to free the original value if necessary. The new value will be
freed by the mca_base_var system and must not be freed by the user.
- Variables with constant scope may not be settable.
- Variable groups (and all associated variables) are deregistered when the
component is closed or the component repository item is freed. This
prevents a segmentation fault from accessing a variable after its component
is unloaded.
- After some discussion we decided we should remove the automatic registration
of component priority variables. Few component actually made use of this
feature.
- The enumerator interface was updated to be general enough to handle
future uses of the interface.
- The code to generate ompi_info output has been moved into the MCA variable
system. See mca_base_var_dump().

This commit also modifies the rmaps framework. The following variables were
moved from ppr and lama: rmaps_base_pernode, rmaps_base_n_pernode,
rmaps_base_n_persocket. Both lama and ppr create synonyms for these variables.

It appears the problem was not with the command line parser but the rsh plm. I don't know why this problem was not occuring before the command line parser changes but it appears to be resolved now.

We ran into a case where the OMPI SVN trunk grew a new acceptable MCA
parameter value, but this new value was not accepted on the v1.6
branch (hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action -- on the trunk it accepts
the value "silent", but on the older v1.6 branch, it doesn't). If you
set "hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action=silent" in the default MCA
params file and then accidentally ran with the v1.6 branch, every OMPI
executable (including ompi_info) just failed because hwloc_base_open()
would say "hey, 'silent' is not a valid value for
hwloc_base_mem_bind_failure_action!". Kaboom.
The only problem is that it didn't give you any indication of where
this value was being set. Quite maddening, from a user perspective.
So we changed the ompi_info handles this case. If any framework open
function return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM (either because its base MCA params
got a bad value or because one of its component register/open
functions return OMPI_ERR_BAD_PARAM), ompi_info will stop, print out
a warning that it received and error, and then dump out the parameters
that it has received so far in the framework that had a problem.
At a minimum, this will show the user the MCA param that had an error
(it's usually the last one), and ''where it was set from'' (so that
they can go fix it).
We updated ompi_info to check for O???_ERR_BAD_PARAM from each from
the framework opens. Also updated the doxygen docs in mca.h for this
O???_BAD_PARAM behavior. And we noticed that mca.h had MCA_SUCCESS
and MCA_ERR_??? codes. Why? I think we used them in exactly one
place in the code base (mca_base_components_open.c). So we deleted
those and just used the normal OPAL_* codes instead.
While we were doing this, we also cleaned up a little memory
management during ompi_info/orte-info/opal-info finalization.
Valgrind still reports a truckload of memory still in use at ompi_info
termination, but they mostly look to be components not freeing
memory/resources properly (and outside the scope of this fix).

This commit was SVN r26242.
The fix is to just check if the return value is positive or not, since all the SOS encoded errors are *always* negative.
The real fix (as Ralph points out) is to change these functions (opal_pointer_array_add and mca_base_param*) to return the index as a pointer.
This commit was SVN r23173.
(OMPI_ERR_* = OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE(ret)), since the return value could be a
SOS-encoded error. The OPAL_SOS_GET_ERR_CODE() takes in a SOS error and returns
back the native error code.
* Since OPAL_SUCCESS is preserved by SOS, also change all calls of the form
(OPAL_ERROR == ret) to (OPAL_SUCCESS != ret). We thus avoid having to
decode 'ret' to get the native error code.

- Delete unnecessary header files using
contrib/check_unnecessary_headers.sh after applying
patches, that include headers, being "lost" due to
inclusion in one of the now deleted headers...
In total 817 files are touched.
In ompi/mpi/c/ header files are moved up into the actual c-file,
where necessary (these are the only additional #include),
otherwise it is only deletions of #include (apart from the above
additions required due to notifier...)
- To get different MCAs (OpenIB, TM, ALPS), an earlier version was
successfully compiled (yesterday) on:
Linux locally using intel-11, gcc-4.3.2 and gcc-SVN + warnings enabled
Smoky cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using PGI-8.0.2 + warnings enabled
Lens cluster (x86-64 running Linux) using Pathscale-3.2 + warnings enabled

Ticket 1392 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1392
Make sure that if we ask for the 'none' component (which is not a 'real' component, but a component in crs/base) then we do not fail out of the box when using tools. We check for the {{{OPAL_ERR_NOT_FOUND}}} error.
Also make sure that component_open() returns {{{OPAL_ERR_NOT_FOUND}}} when it cannot find a value instead of {{{OPAL_ERROR}}} which means something quite a bit different.
C/R is working but the tools still print the warning below everytime they are ran:
{{{
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A requested component was not found, or was unable to be opened. This
means that this component is either not installed or is unable to be
used on your system (e.g., sometimes this means that shared libraries
that the component requires are unable to be found/loaded). Note that
Open MPI stopped checking at the first component that it did not find.
Host: odin.cs.indiana.edu
Framework: crs
Component: none
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
}}}
I'll have to figure out a work around for this warning (maybe work on the {{{MCA_NULL}}} Ticket #1291).

by the checkpoint/restart feature. Other constraints could be enforced here,
but at the moment it is only the checkpointable constraint.
So this commit just removes this logic from non-c/r builds. If someone
wanted to add a new constraint in the future then there is a comment in
the code that directs them a bit.

There are several interesting things:
1. less NFS traffic [as we potentially access less files]
2. faster loading time [in case the user tune it's execution environment]
3. (1) + (2) -> faster startup time [at least everything which do not depend on the network]
4. MX bug will go away if the pml is specified.
5. No useless BTL will be opened, which will solve few others issues.

in-place already (turns out that I was wrong in thinking that it
didn't work for static components), but the logic for excluding
components was not there. This commit does a few things:
- Adds "exclude" logic, so that you can do:
mpirun --mca btl ^mvapi,openib ...
(note the "^" character -- I tried "!" but then you have to escape
it in the shell, and that was icky) which will exclude both the
mvapi and openib btl components (excluding one component means that
you are excluding all components in the list; it doesn't make sense
to include some and exclude others -- you're entire entirely
including or entirely excluding)
- Simplifies the "include" logic, so the same old stuff like this
still works:
mpirun --mca btl tcp,self ...
will only use the tcp and self btl components.
- Added more verbosity statements to make this selection process
clear.

add a -I to find the included ltdl.h (vs. a system-installed ltdl.h)
- Clean up kruft in a bunch of Makefile.am's to remove now-unnecessary
AM_CPPFLAGS settings to get static-components.h for each framework
- Move the component_repository API functions out of opal/mca/base/base.h
and into opal/mca/base/mca_base_component_repository.h in order to
decrease unnecessary dependencies (e.g., before this, almost
everything in the tree depended on ltdl.h, which is unnecessary --
only a small number of files really need ltdl.h)

- There's still a handful of places that have orte/ #include files;
still need to clean those up
- A lot of places still use ompi/include/constants.h -- those need to
be converted over to use OPAL_ return codes and then switch to the
opal constants.h. This commit is the first few steps towards
that...
