Larry,
I didn't try pgi-11, but pgi-12.8 *does* have F08 support detected by
OpenMPI:
$ openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-x86_64-pgi-12.8/INST/bin/ompi_info --all | grep
-i f08
Fort use mpi_f08: yes
Fort mpi_f08 compliance: The mpi_f08 module is available, but due to
limitations in the pgf90 compiler, does not support the following: array
subsections, PROCEDUREs, direct passthru (where possible) to underlying
Open MPI's C functionality
Fort mpi_f08 subarrays: no
Fort f08 using wrappers: yes
Fort use mpi_f08 prof: yes
So, the lack of F08 support in pgi-10.0 is *not* the result of parsing just
the leading digit of the PGI version number (and, yes, I do seem to recall
that problem).
