I am making a final decision to decide the behavior of what happens
when an MCA parameter is re-registered and changes types. In
developer builds (i.e., OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG==1), a show_help message
will be displayed. In all builds, an error status will be returned.
Specifically, the logic looks like this:
{{{
if (detect_re-registration_with_type_change) {
#if OPAL_ENABLE_DEBUG
opal_show_help(...);
#endif
return OPAL_ERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS;
}
}}}
If someone would like to change this behavior, they are welcome to do
so. :-) I am committing this so that ''some'' action occurs (rather
than talking about the issue and then nothing happens).
This commit was SVN r25432.
