Thanks for the clarification Ralph and George. — Murali
From: devel <devel-boun...@lists.open-mpi.org<mailto:devel-boun...@lists.open-mpi.org>> on behalf of George Bosilca <bosi...@icl.utk.edu<mailto:bosi...@icl.utk.edu>> Reply-To: Open MPI Developers <devel@lists.open-mpi.org<mailto:devel@lists.open-mpi.org>> Date: Monday, October 10, 2016 at 2:18 PM To: Open MPI Developers <devel@lists.open-mpi.org<mailto:devel@lists.open-mpi.org>> Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] use of OBJ_NEW and related calls These macros are defined in opal/class/opal_object.h. We are using them all over the OMPI code base, including OPAL, ORTE, OSHMEM and OMPI. These calls are indeed somewhat similar to an OO language, the intent was to have a thread-safe way to refcount objects to keep them around for as long as they are necessary. George.

Are these specific to OpenMPI code base? Is the assumption correct that these calls are wrappers to create new objects, initialize and destroy, similar to any object oriented language. — Murali _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@lists.open-mpi.org<mailto:devel@lists.open-mpi.org> https://rfd.newmexicoconsortium.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
