Indeed, your comment was exactly the source of my comment (BTW, thank you, this helped me to fix my Python wrappers) In general, I think MPI standard should be fixed/clarified in many places regarding to handling of returned references. Testing for predefined Comm a Group handling is rather easy, but for Datatypes is really cumbersome. Perhaps a MPI_Type_is_named(MPI_Datatype, int*flag) would help a lot.
