handled properly when MCA parameters are re-registered and their types
change. Specifically, this case was broken:
1. Register an int MCA param with a non-zero default value
1. Re-register the same MCA param as a string with a NULL default value
The 2nd step would cause a segv because the first int default value
wasn't being reset properly. Here's sample code that shows the issue:
{{{
{
int ibogus;
char *sbogus;
opal_init(&argc, &argv);
mca_base_param_reg_int_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, 3, &ibogus);
printf("Ibogus: %d\n", ibogus);
mca_base_param_reg_string_name("type", "name", "help", false, false, NULL, &sbogus);
printf("Sbogus: %s\n", (NULL == sbogus) ? "NULL" : sbogus);
exit(0);
}
}}}
This commit fixes the problem from the sample code above as well as
the a similar issue for file-set MCA params and override values. It
also resets default values for MCA params initially registered as a
string but then re-registered as an int.
