I don't think this is actually OpenMPI's problem. I know this is getting slightly off topic but before I take this to the PGI folks I'd like to make sure it isn't actually an OpenMPI problem after all. Here's my best shot at explaining what I think is going on. Please excuse my rusty terminology.
If one uses the PGI compilers to build a shared library based on an f90 module the resulting object file and shared library contain references to any subroutines defined inside any interfaces defined in said module. This can be verified with nm. If you then link against the produced shared library the compilation will fail with "undefined references" to any of the subroutines that were contained inside any defined interfaces (that aren't defined within the code being compiled). This doesn't seem to happen with the GNU or Intel compilers. I have a small test case that I think reproduces the problem here. Since I'm not by any means a fortran expert I was wondering if somebody on the list who is a little more versed in fortran could verify that this code is correct and should compile (it does with gnu and intel compilers). The makefile can be found here http://pastebin.com/f7f320b97 and the source files are below. mymod.f90: module mymod interface my_interface subroutine my_subroutine integer i end subroutine my_subroutine end interface end module main.f90: program main print *, "hello world" end program On Dec 24, 2009, at 6:15 PM, Aaron Knister wrote: > I'm running into a strange problem with openmpi and the pgi compiler (version > 9.0-4).
