Yeah, I forgot that pure ANSI C doesn't really have namespaces, other than to fully qualify modules and variables. Bummer. Makes writing large, maintainable middleware more difficult. -Original Message- From: devel [mailto:devel-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Kenneth A. Lloyd Sent

Would you consider a user-defined process language library outside of OpenMPI? Process functors could be defined by compositions in this external area, and maintenance of the language simply the user's responsibility? -Original Message- From: devel [mailto:devel-boun...@open-mpi.org] On
