Re: [OMPI devel] IOF repair

Just an update. Jeff and I have completed and checked in a fix to this problem (see the trunk, r18873). Please note that this fix has only been lightly tested, and we don't know for certain that it hasn't opened another hole somewhere else in the dyke. We would appreciate it if people could test t

Check that -- Ralph and I talked more about #1383 and have come up with a decent/better solution that a) is not wonky and b) does not involve MCA parameter synonyms. We're working on it in an hg and will put it back when done (probably within a business day or three). So I think the MCA sy

Can't argue with that...when Jeff gets back from his meeting he forgot about, we'll chat and see what makes sense to recommend. The current code is "worse" in the sense that we have this new bad behavior on stdin. It is "better" in that Rolf and Jeff -did- plug a hole or two from the 1.2 days. We'

This all seems like a 6 of one half dozen of the other decision. Both solutions suck because there are holes. So, it comes down to whether we think the current code is worse than 1.2 or not. If they are the same I'd be inclined to stay with what we have now for fear of inadvertantly borking

Re: [OMPI devel] IOF repair

2008-07-10 Thread Ralph Castain
I believe the changes all pretty much related to an attempt to fix the iof_flush problem and correction of a different problem affecting the reading of stdin. Unfortunately, the iof_flush problem still remains, albeit perhaps in different form, and we now have a new problem in the stdin behavior.

I see that Jeff has updated the ticket saying that he is looking at the code to see if he can generate a fix so the below may be superfluous. Anyways, what were the issues fixed in 1.3? I really comes down to how much more pain are we giving our users by rolling back to 1.2 or not. Note, I a
