This is a fairly intrusive change, but outside of the moving of opal/event to opal/mca/event, the only changes involved (a) changing all calls to opal_event functions to reflect the new framework instead, and (b) ensuring that all opal_event_t objects are properly constructed since they are now true opal_objects.
Note: Shiqing has just returned from vacation and has not yet had a chance to complete the Windows integration. Thus, this commit almost certainly breaks Windows support on the trunk. However, I want this to have a chance to soak for as long as possible before I become less available a week from today (going to be at a class for 5 days, and thus will only be sparingly available) so we can find and fix any problems.
Biggest change is moving the libevent code from opal/event to a new opal/mca/event framework. This was done to make it much easier to update libevent in the future. New versions can be inserted as a new component and tested in parallel with the current version until validated, then we can remove the earlier version if we so choose. This is a statically built framework ala installdirs, so only one component will build at a time. There is no selection logic - the sole compiled component simply loads its function pointers into the opal_event struct.
I have gone thru the code base and converted all the libevent calls I could find. However, I cannot compile nor test every environment. It is therefore quite likely that errors remain in the system. Please keep an eye open for two things:
1. compile-time errors: these will be obvious as calls to the old functions (e.g., opal_evtimer_new) must be replaced by the new framework APIs (e.g., opal_event.evtimer_new)
2. run-time errors: these will likely show up as segfaults due to missing constructors on opal_event_t objects. It appears that it became a typical practice for people to "init" an opal_event_t by simply using memset to zero it out. This will no longer work - you must either OBJ_NEW or OBJ_CONSTRUCT an opal_event_t. I tried to catch these cases, but may have missed some. Believe me, you'll know when you hit it.
There is also the issue of the new libevent "no recursion" behavior. As I described on a recent email, we will have to discuss this and figure out what, if anything, we need to do.

This merges the branch containing the revamped build system based around converting autogen from a bash script to a Perl program. Jeff has provided emails explaining the features contained in the change.
Please note that configure requirements on components HAVE CHANGED. For example. a configure.params file is no longer required in each component directory. See Jeff's emails for an explanation.

discussed extensively. See
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2092 and the RFC thread
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/02/7447.php.
Specifically:
* Create LT convenience libraries for OPAL and ORTE if the layer
above them is being created (use the already-defined
AM_CONDITIONALs to know if the project above us is being built).
* ORTE slurps in the LT convenience library for OPAL; OMPI slurps in
the LT convenience library for ORTE.
* Wrapper compilers now only -l one library (e.g., ortecc only does
-lopen-ret, and mpicc only does -lmpi).

note in VERSION file.
NOTE: the versions will ''always'' be 0:0:0 on the SVN trunk and
developer branches. They will only have meaningful values (starting
with 0:0:0 in 1.3.4) on release branches. Only RM's will modify these
values immediately preceeding a release.

OMPI
and a language agnostic part in OPAL. The convertor is completely
moved into OPAL. This offers several benefits as described in RFC
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2009/07/6387.php
namely:
- Fewer basic types (int* and float* types, boolean and wchar
- Fixing naming scheme to ompi-nomenclature.
- Usability outside of the ompi-layer.
- Due to the fixed nature of simple opal types, their information is
completely
known at compile time and therefore constified
- With fewer datatypes (22), the actual sizes of bit-field types may be
reduced
from 64 to 32 bits, allowing reorganizing the opal_datatype
structure, eliminating holes and keeping data required in convertor
(upon send/recv) in one cacheline...
This has implications to the convertor-datastructure and other parts
of the code.
- Several performance tests have been run, the netpipe latency does not
change with
this patch on Linux/x86-64 on the smoky cluster.
- Extensive tests have been done to verify correctness (no new
regressions) using:
1. mpi_test_suite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and
ompi-ddt:
a. running both trunk and ompi-ddt resulted in no differences
(except for MPI_SHORT_INT and MPI_TYPE_MIX_LB_UB do now run
correctly).
b. with --enable-memchecker and running under valgrind (one buglet
when run with static found in test-suite, commited)
2. ibm testsuite on linux/x86-64 using clean ompi-trunk and ompi-ddt:
all passed (except for the dynamic/ tests failed!! as trunk/MTT)
3. compilation and usage of HDF5 tests on Jaguar using PGI and
PathScale compilers.
4. compilation and usage on Scicortex.
- Please note, that for the heterogeneous case, (-m32 compiled
binaries/ompi), neither
ompi-trunk, nor ompi-ddt branch would successfully launch.

* Require Autoconf 2.60 or higher and remove some cruft
required for AC 2.59 or the AC 2.59 / AC 2.60 mix
* Remove a bunch of now unnecessary AC_SUBST calls
* Use the libtool-provided variables for the -I and

The following Trac tickets were found above:
Ticket 1000 --> https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1000
- move files out of toplevel include/ and etc/, moving it into the
sub-projects
- rather than including config headers with <project>/include,
have them as <project>
- require all headers to be included with a project prefix, with
the exception of the config headers ({opal,orte,ompi}_config.h
mpi.h, and mpif.h)

r8698), with changes below:
- Split wrapper flags into those required for each of the three projects,
and cleaned up some cruft (including the LIBMPI_EXTRA_*FLAGS) through-
out the build system
- Added opal_init_util and opal_finalize_util to allow init / cleanup
of all the opal code that doesn't require the MCA system
- Create standalone key=value file parser, based on the one that used
to be in the mca param parser, so that it can be shared in multiple
places
- Add wrapper datafiles for opal, orte, and ompi wrappers, and add
wrapper compiler with support for all the old features

When compiling C++ code that includes something that looks for the C++
header file "memory" (stupid C++ headers not having .h extensions), it
goes through the header file search path, which includes $(topsrcdir)/opal,
so it finds the directory $(topsrcdir)/opal/memory/ and tries to load
that as the memory header file and all goes downhill.

originally suggested by Ralf Wildenhues, to try to speed autogen, configure,
and make (and possibly even make install). Use automake's include directive
to drastically reduce the number of Makefile files (although the number of
Makefile.am files is the same - most are just included in a top-level
Makefile.am). Also use an Automake SUBDIRs feature to eliminate the
dynamic-mca tree, which was no longer really needed. This makes adding
a framework easier (since you don't have to remember the dynamic-mca
tree) and makes building faster (as make doesn't have to recurse through
the dynamic-mca tree)

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, instead of the deprecated version.
* Work around dumbness in modern AC_INIT that requires the version
number to be set at autoconf time (instead of at configure time, as
it was before). Set the version number, minus the subversion r number,
at autoconf time. Override the internal variables to include the r
number (if needed) at configure time. Basically, the right thing
should always happen. The only place it might not is the version
reported as part of configure --help will not have an r number.
* Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE taks a list of options, no need to specify
them in all the Makefile.am files.
* Addes support for subdir-objects, meaning that object files are put
in the directory containing source files, even if the Makefile.am is
in another directory. This should start making it feasible to
reduce the number of Makefile.am files we have in the tree, which
will greatly reduce the time to run autogen and configure.

* Add base to memory framework so that we can do something sane with
ompi_info
* Updated ompi_info to print components for memory framework and
show whether we have memory hooks active or not.

- Simple components for getting and setting processor affinity of a
process; does *not* include scheduling decisions
- No one in the OMPI code base invokes the framework yet
- Added linux component for using sched_setaffinity()
- Added shell solaris component that will use processor_bind()
(currently .ompi_ignore'd)

the list structures will be in an undefined state at those times.

callbacks to be triggered when memory is about to leave the current
process. The system is designed to allow a variety of interfaces,
hopefully including whole-sale replacement of the memory manager,
ld preload tricks, and hooks into the system memory manager. Since
some of these may or may not be available at runtime and we won't know
until runtime, there is a query funtion to look for availability of
such a setup.
* Added ptmalloc2 memory manager replacement code. Not turned on by
default, can be enabled with --with-memory-manager=ptmalloc2.
Only tested on Linux, not even compiled elsewhere. Do not use
on OS X, or you will never see your process again.
* Added AM_CONDITIONAL for threads test to support ptmalloc2's build
system
