I don't think it's going to be enough. George's point is that the *default behavior* for ompi_info for years has been to do what --selected-only does. So adding a non-default option to get that same behavior... I think George will hate that. Right, George? :-) I think your option 2b) from your previous mail was the compromise: ----- To summarize what will be done: 1) --all without a --level will assume --level 9 2) Either a) add an option to ompi_info to suppress registering all components when a component selection parameter is set (ie. --mca btl self,sm) or b) somehow mark the parameters of unused components as such. ----- I.e., show all components, but mark those who are not selected somehow.
