George,
Sounds good to me. Let me know if you want me to do any of the merge.
Thanks,
Tim

I just checked the code and to be honest there is no difference, except
for the initialization part. The code is clearly "copy&paste" from one
version to the other. The FORTRAN specific code is related to the number
of elements in the array, in the ompi pointer array we limit the max
size of the array to the largest Fortran integer. I don't think this is
a real limitation, as I doubt anyone will allocate an array of 2^32-1
pointers. Actually, we can even keep this max size, as the orte pointer
array is not supposed to grow that big [sic].
At the light of these, it seems there is a 4th option. Merge
orte_pointer_array and ompi_pointer_array in one opal_pointer_array. I
volunteer to do the merge, but not before next week.
Thanks,
george.

Hi,
The openib and udapl btls currently use the orte_pointer_array class.
This is a problem for me as I am trying to implement the RSL. So, as far
as I can tell, there are 3 options:
1. Move the orte_pointer_array class to opal. This would be quite simple
to do and makes sense in that there is nothing in the orte_pointer_array
specific to orte.
2. Change the udapl and openib btls to use a simple C array. There is
currently a ticket filed (https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/727)
to do this in the openib btl.
3. Change the btls to use the ompi_pointer_array. This might not be a
good idea since the above ticket says that the ompi_pointer array was
intentionally not used.
Any of these options are fine with me, although if #2 is picked someone
else would probably need to do most of the work.
Comments?
Thanks,
Tim
