Well, you can use '+' (with a bit care) in any Fortran, right?. This is the way the MPI standard does things for some enumerations (file modes, RMA assertions). However, if DMDA_XYZPERIODIC and friends do no go away because of Fortran issues, then we should definitely define DMDA_{XY|XZ|YZ}GHOSTED. -- Lisandro Dalcin --------------- CIMEC (INTEC/CONICET-UNL) Predio CONICET-Santa Fe Colectora RN 168 Km 472, Paraje El Pozo 3000 Santa Fe, Argentina Tel: +54-342-4511594 (ext 1011) Tel/Fax: +54-342-4511169
