Agreed. Something like:
char version_str[128];
snprintf(version_str, sizeof(version_str),
"%d.%d.%d", libusnic_major, libusnic_minor, libusnic_release);
mca_base_component_var_register(&mca_btl_usnic_component.super.btl_version,
"libusnic_version",
"Version of the libusnic library",
MCA_BASE_VAR_TYPE_STRING,
NULL, 0, 0,
OPAL_INFO_LVL_3,
MCA_BASE_VAR_SCOPE_READONLY,
version_str);
Then:
shell$ ompi_info --param btl usnic --level 9 --parsable | grep version | grep
:value:
mca:btl:usnic:param:btl_usnic_libusnic_version:value:1.2.3
Make sense?
I suggest level 2 or level 3 for such vars. They shouldn't be in default level
1 ompi_info output, but it is information that may be required to run
correctly, so it should be in the "end user" set of info (i.e., be <= 3). See
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/wiki/MCAParamLevels.
My point: I don't think you need any new infrastructure for this -- you can do
it today.
