Hi folks
This was one item from the last devel meeting that can be done independent of
other things:
• resolution: all opal and orte (and possibly ompi) classes
need to have a thread safe and thread-free interface
• _st suffix: single thread (i.e., not thread safe
variant)
• _mt suffix: multi thread (i.e., thread safe variant)
• for functions that have both st/mt, they will
*both* have suffixes
• other functions (that do not have st/mt
versions) will be naked names
• need to rename all classes that have locking enabled
already (e.g., opal_free_list)
• so today, we go rename all the functions (e.g.,
opal_free_list functions get _mt suffix) throughout the code base
• as someone needs the _st version, they go create it
and use it as they want to
• Ralph will do the orte classes
• Aurelien will do this for the ompi classes
I believe some of these have been done - I will take care of the ORTE classes
this week, so consider this a "heads up" for that change.
Ralph
