BTW, Here's the documentation I was referring to: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Versioning Now, the problem Open MPI faces is that while our MPI interface rarely changes (and almost never in a backwards-incompatible way), the interface between components and libraries

Ok, having read the libtool docs now, I see why the release number is a bad idea. :-) I'm assuming that: - The libmpi interface will rarely change, but we may add to it over time (there's a specific point about this in the libtool docs -- no problem) - The libopen-rte interface

No! :) It would be good for everyone to read the Libtool documentation to see why versioning on the release number would be a really bad idea. Then comment. But my opinion would be that you should change based on interface changes, not based on release numbers. Brian On Oct 15,

[OMPI devel] FW: [devel-core] [RFC] Proposed changes to ompi_free_list

2007-10-15 Thread Richard Graham
I have had several people try the temp branch, and things are looking ok. Therefore, I am planning on moving this change into the trunk (hopefully) later this week. Please let me know if there are outstanding problems that have not been reported back to the list. Thanks, Rich --

Rolf -- I didn't object to this RFC, but I didn't understand that you were going to *always* have a valid output stream for mca_btl_base_output (vs. being -1 when verbosity was not enabled). Is this what you meant to do? It enabled some output from the openib btl (on the trunk) when

[OMPI devel] RFC: versioning OMPI libraries

2007-10-15 Thread Jeff Squyres
WHAT: Add versioning to all OMPI libraries so that shared libraries use the real version number in the filename (vs. the current "*.so. 0.0.0") WHY: It's a Good Thing(tm) to do. WHERE: Minor changes in a few Makefile.am's; probably some small tweaking to top-level configure.ac and/or some

[OMPI devel] putting common request completion waiting code into separate inline function

2007-10-15 Thread Gleb Natapov
Hi, Each time a someone needs to wait for request completion he implements the same piece of code. Why not put this code into inline function and use it instead. Look at the included patch, it moves the common code into ompi_request_wait_completion() function. Does somebody have any objection

Can an RM approve https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1153 for 1.2.5? It's a fix for the upgrade to AM 1.10 for the Objective C (OSX) support in OMPI that was broken in 1.2.4. -- Jeff Squyres Cisco Systems
