RFC: Rename several OMPI_* names to OPAL_*
WHAT: Rename several #define values that encode the prefix "OMPI_" to
instead encode the prefix "OPAL_" throughout the entire Open MPI
source code
tree. Also, eliminate unnecessary #include lines from source code
files
under the ".../ompi/mca/btl" subtree.
WHY: (1) These are general source code improvements that update
#define
values to more accurately describe which layer the values belong
and remove
unnecessary dependencies within the source code; (2) These changes
will help
with the effort to move the BTL code into an independent layer.
WHERE: 1.4 trunk
WHEN: Negotiable -- see below, but probably near split for 1.4
(No earlier than February 19, 2009)

====================================
The proposed change involves renaming several #define values that
encode the
prefix "OMPI_" to instead encode the prefix "OPAL_" throughout the
entire
Open MPI source code tree. These names are holdovers from when the
three
existing layers of Open MPI were developed together prior to being
split
apart. Additionally, the proposed change eliminates a few
unnecessary
#include lines in BTL source code files under the .../ompi/mca/btl
subtree.
Specific modifications are detailed following this message text. A
script
to carry out these modifications is also attached to this message
(gzipped
to pass unmolested through the ORNL e-mail server).
We believe these modifications improve the Open MPI source code by
renaming
values such that they correspond to the Open MPI layer to which
they most
closely belong, and that this improvement is itself of benefit to
Open MPI.
These modifications will also aid our ongoing efforts to extract
the BTL
code into a new layer ("ONET") that can be built with just direct
dependence
on the OPAL layer.
Although these changes are simple string substitutions, they touch
a fair
amount of code in the Open MPI tree. Three people have tested
these changes
at our site on various platforms and have not discovered any
problems.
However, we recognize that some members of the community may have
input/feedback regarding testing and we remain open to suggestions
related
to testing.
One challenge that has been brought up regarding this RFC is that
applying
patches and/or CMRs to the source code tree after the proposed
changes are
performed will be more difficult. To that end, the best
opportunity to
apply the modifications proposed in this RFC seems to be in
conjunction with
1.4. (My understanding from the developer conference call this
morning is
that there are a few other changes waiting for this switch as
well.) We are
open to suggestions about the best time to apply this RFC to avoid
major
disruptions.
