Hi Nadia We actually have a framework in the system for this purpose, though it might require some minor modifications to do precisely what you describe. It is the ORTE "notifier" framework - you will find it at orte/mca/notifier. There are several components, each of which supports a different no

2009-05-26 Thread Ralph Castain
Yo Greg I'm slow, but it did hit me that there may be a simpler solution after all. I gather that the problem is that the user's output could have tags in it that match our own, thus causing tag-confusion. True? My concern is that our proposed solution generates pidgin-xml which could only ever b

[OMPI devel] Remove IMB 2.3 from ompi-tests?

2009-05-26 Thread Jeff Squyres
We've had IMB 3.1 in the ompi-tests svn for a long time; it's what I run in my nightly MTT. I just uploaded 3.2 as well, and will be switching my nightly MTT to use it. *** Note that I have applied a custom bug fix to IMB_window.c in 3.1/3.2 to make the code function properly -- otherwise

[OMPI devel] problem in the ORTE notifier framework

Hi, While having a look at the notifier framework under orte, I noticed that the way it is written, the init routine for the selected module cannot be called. Attached is a small patch that fixes this issue. Regards, Nadia ORTE notifier module init routine is never called: orte_notifier.init che

Ralph, Both my proposals are correct XML and should be parsable by any conforming XML parser. Just changing the tags will not work because any text that contains "&", "<", or ">" will still confuse an XML parser. Regards, Greg On May 26, 2009, at 8:25 AM, Ralph Castain wrote: Yo Greg

First, to answer Nadia's question: you will find that the init function for the module is already called when it is selected - see the code in orte/mca/base/notifier_base_select.c, lines 72-76 (in the trunk. It would be a good idea to tie into the sos work to avoid conflicts when it all gets merge
