Hello Ralph Thanks for your input. The routine that does the send is this:
static int btl_lf_modex_send(lfgroup lfgroup) { char *grp_name = lf_get_group_name(lfgroup, NULL, 0); btl_lf_modex_t lf_modex; int rc; strncpy(lf_modex.grp_name, grp_name, GRP_NAME_MAX_LEN); OPAL_MODEX_SEND(rc, OPAL_PMIX_GLOBAL, &mca_btl_lf_component.super.btl_version, (char *)&lf_modex, sizeof(lf_modex)); return rc; } This routine is called from the component init routine (mca_btl_lf_component_init()). I have verified that the values in the modex (lf_modex) are correct. The receive happens in proc_create, and I call it like this: OPAL_MODEX_RECV(rc, &mca_btl_lf_component.super.btl_version, &opal_proc->proc_name, (uint8_t **)&module_proc->proc_modex, &size); In here, I get junk value in proc_modex. If I pass a buffer that was malloc()'ed in place of module_proc->proc_modex, I still get bad data. Thanks again for your help. Durga We learn from history that we never learn from history.
