Ethan is right. The MPIR_Breakpoint function will be queried by your
preferred parallel debugger, in order to set a breakpoint. Therefore,
to allow the debuggers to be able to find the function we have to make
sure it is externally visible, i.e. flagged with OMPI_DECLSPEC (for
the one in li
I still don't think these need to be DECLSPEC. Debuggers can find
local symbols (including static symbols). Sun was having a problem
with the Intel compilers because the function was being inlined -- and
therefore the symbol didn't exist at all.
Removing the "static" was a simple optimiza
On the positive side: it did solve the compiler warning issue.
Not saying I disagree with these points.

After spending few hours reading through some pretty good papers about
shared libraries, I came to the conclusion that somehow this whole
stuff is even more obfuscated that one might think. If I understand
correctly, there is no need for all local symbols to be visible at
all. The linker is
