There is a hint for F77 users at the bottom of the page. It suggests to use INTEGER*MPI_OFFSET_KIND as type for the SIZE. I guess if we cast it correctly, and the users follow the MPI specification, this should work.
Please tell me you are joking? No, that will NOT work, in general. Firstly, the xxx in INTEGER*xxx was introduced in Fortran IV as a digit string and not a constant, and all of the compilers I know of still do that. Secondly, it is NOT always aligned with the KIND values, and there is no implication in any document I know of that it should be. Regards, Nick Maclaren.
