Dear MPI forum members,
for the virtual meeting this week (June 7, 2023) the following readings and
discussions are scheduled.
Some technical decisions are needed and it may be best to do these decisions as
institutional staw votes
in an additional virtual meeting (e.g. next week), rather to do them ad hoc
this week.
The topics are #705/PR822, #710/PR823 with two options, #676/PR824 or PR825.
Details:

#705 Errata: Fortran has only compile-time constants Rolf,Joseph
Issue https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/705
(together with https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/657
Rolf, Jeff H.)
PR https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/822

https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/files/11450065/mpi41-report_Issue705%2B657_PR822.pdf
This proposal seems to be already stable.

#710 Errata: 'Pending communication' not defined in MPI_Comm_disconnect Rolf
Issue https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/710
PR https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/823
PDF
https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/files/11454896/mpi41-report_Issue710_PR823.pdf
There is severe critism about the current proposal in PR 823:
"In this PR here, as far as I can see, the implementations are mainly
affected if they
incorrectly require that there must not be any inactive request handle using
the given comm.
Whether an MPI lib really internally frees the inactive handles or not,
is mainly a question of having dangling handles or not."
"Is there broad agreement that this is incorrect implementation behavior? I'm
skeptical."
And therefore, there are two different solutions:
- An advice to users, telling the consequences if they do not free inactive
handles before calling MPI_Comm_disconnect or MPI_Session_finalize.
or
- Automatically freeing them.
And furthermore:
"Whatever we decide, I imagine this needs to extend to MPI_SESSION_FINALIZE
as well."
I'll try to update the proposal before the meeting to have text for both
possible solutions.
