Changes (by Roland Haas):

status:

resolved (was new)

The 1.X series is no longer supported by Open-MPI. Instead we should use either 2.1 or a version in the 3.X series.

Keyword: MPI

Comment (by Roland Haas):

Updated to 4.0.2 in git hash f90a8ac "MPI: update included tarball to 4.0.2" of ExternalLibraries-MPI

The README file says:

Note that starting with Open MPI v4.0.0, prototypes for several legacy MPI-1 symbols that were deleted in the MPI-3.0 specification (which was published in 2012) are no longer available by default in mpi.h. Specifically, several MPI-1 symbols were deprecated in the 1996 publishing of the MPI-2.0 specification. These deprecated symbols were eventually removed from the MPI-3.0 specification in 2012.

The symbols that now no longer appear by default in Open MPI's mpi.h are:

• MPI_Address (replaced by MPI_Get_address)
• MPI_Errhandler_create (replaced by MPI_Comm_create_errhandler)
• MPI_Errhandler_get (replaced by MPI_Comm_get_errhandler)
• MPI_Errhandler_set (replaced by MPI_Comm_set_errhandler)
• MPI_Type_extent (replaced by MPI_Type_get_extent)
• MPI_Type_hindexed (replaced by MPI_Type_create_hindexed)
• MPI_Type_hvector (replaced by MPI_Type_create_hvector)
• MPI_Type_lb (replaced by MPI_Type_get_extent)
• MPI_Type_struct (replaced by MPI_Type_create_struct)
• MPI_Type_ub (replaced by MPI_Type_get_extent)
• MPI_LB (replaced by MPI_Type_create_resized)
• MPI_UB (replaced by MPI_Type_create_resized)
• MPI_COMBINER_HINDEXED_INTEGER
• MPI_COMBINER_HVECTOR_INTEGER
• MPI_COMBINER_STRUCT_INTEGER
• MPI_Handler_function (replaced by MPI_Comm_errhandler_function

Which could be a problem for code still using the long deprecated symbols. The Mayer release Einstein Toolkit compiles fine with it, though some older versions have used MPI_UB
