List of revisions

• (gropp) Added a more strenuous test of allocating many info objects
• (gropp) Added a new macro to check the alignment of structs containing long double and various int types
• (gropp) Added a test for empty make templase
• (gropp) Added additional double struct alignment test
• (gropp) Added another test about struct alignment with a warning if inconsistent double alignments are seen
• (gropp) Added cache.base to cvsignore
• (gropp) Added compilers to output
• (gropp) Added definitions needed to create a dist target for the MPICH2 test suite
• (gropp) Added more support for test/perf
• (chan) Added mpich2's bugfix version AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS that provides absolute path version of ac_install_sh
• (gropp) Added option performance tests
• (gropp) Added optional directory autoconf var names to testlist in errors directory
• (gropp) Added performance test programs
• (gropp) Added structalign to cvsignore
• (gropp) Added truely ghastly check for broken pthread implementations (Solaris appears to provide a non-functioning pthread library by default, so if you do not link with -lpthread, your program links, but pthread_equal(id,id) returns false!)
• (gropp) Added two more items to remove from a distribution
• (gropp) Allow Zeroconf to be optional during installation
• (thakur) applied patch from Doug Gilmore. mpich2 req #1980
• (gropp) Apply fix to 1.0.4 release for Zeroconf
• (gropp) Be more careful about adding -lpthreads in ROMIO
• (gropp) Begin adding performance tests
• (chan) Call AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS which is the mpich2's bugfix version that offers absolute path to ac_install_sh, i.e. INSTALL. The absolute path INSTALL can be used correctly in recursive install script in the install program on platforms that have to use install-sh.

• (gropp) Cleaned up the users and installers manuals
• (gropp) DeDOS file
• (mercierg) Elan
• (mercierg) Elan stuff
• (gropp) Enhance getcoverage to recognize the standard error routines and macros when generating the annotated HTML version of the listing
• (gropp) enhanded faq builder
• (gropp) Ensure that build failures are included in the summary xml file
• (mercierg) Fiwes when using only shared memory
• (gropp) Fix for different struct alignments for different sizes of C float types (for the case where long double has a shorter alignment type that double, which occurs on some X86 systems where long double is 12 bytes
• (gropp) Fix for useing faqsum
• (gropp) Fix typo in dist target
• (toonen) fixed PG reference count problem that caused finalize to hang when MPI_Comm_connect/accept was used. updated code to use new MPID_DEV_COMM_FUNC_HOOK macro. renamed subjob topology to SAN topology.
• (chan) Fixed VPATH check that points to another non-existing file.
• (gropp) Fixed solaris thread definition of Thread_same
• (mercierg) Fixes for shared-memory only cases
• (gropp) For aid in debugging structure alignment, we include the structalign code from configure in the maint directory
• (gropp) Format change to enhance similarity with mpid_issend
• (mercierg) GM
• (toonen) improved the connect/accept example programs to perform multiple connect/accept operations, and change which processes send and receive data on each iteration
• (gropp) Increase the number of info objects tested
• (mercierg) MX added
• (gropp) Make local variable static to avoid problems with common symbols
• (gropp) Make user manual create faq from faq.txt
• (chan) minor change.
• (mercierg) Minor fixes
• (toonen) modified the list of required globus packages to explicitly include globus_dc
• (gropp) Move sr.c and srvec.c to test/basic
• (gropp) Moved non-user-example programs into developers directory
• (buntinas) nemesis: added MPICH_PORT_RANGE support to tcp module
• (buntinas) nemesis: fixed more include dependency issues
• (buntinas) nemesis: more updates to newtcp module
• (gropp) Properly set the provided thread level
• (gropp) Remove dependencies on MPICH2 from allmpi
• (gropp) Remove unused make target for processor name size
• (gropp) Removed HTML-constructs from faq file
• (gropp) Removed unused variable
• (gropp) Switch to autoheader 2.59 form for including top/bottom files in conf.in files
• (gropp) Update to handle problems with install-sh under Solaris
• (gropp) Update userguide makefile to use faqsum
• (toonen) updated the todo list and the list of outstanding issues with the core of MPICH2
