1. Meeting secretary for this meeting?
Peter
2. Remaining public comments on DRMAAv2
(http://ogf.org/gf/docs/comment.php?id=377)
- scalar attribute question
- demands copying of strings, implement via const char*
- native types question
- decision has to be done by language binding
- slots question
- slots count should be numeric, is a typo
- SessionManagementException question
- left over, remove from IDL
- exception raise clause question
- sad fact, but the group cannot deliver a reasonable list now
- will come with existing implementations at grid recommendation phase
- DRMAA_JOBID_VAR
- makes sense, add it
3. Next steps with the C-binding
Several comments from Roger's in-depth analysis of the last published
version of the header file, all agreed by the participants:
- make DRMAA2_OTHER_OS and DRMAA2_OTHER_CPU the first items in the
enumeration, for better extensibility in later versions of the spec
- add more specific comment for drmaa2_list_remove: " "removes the most
recent item returned"
- whenever parameter is not changed inside the function, make it "const"
(e.g. run_job)
- non-error output for functions looks counter-intuitive
- could be assumed that all these functions never fail
- needs check with Andre about initial idea
- no obvious code size reduction for DRMAA user
- maybe consistency is better
Best regards,
Peter.
