Unfortunately this example is not correct. The real Fortran prototype
for the MPI_Comm_rank function is
void mpi_comm_rank_(MPI_Fint *comm, MPI_Fint *rank, MPI_Fint *ierr).
As you might notice there is no MPI_Comm (and believe me for Open MPI
MPI_Comm is different than MPI_Fint), and there is no guarantee that
the C int is the same as the Fortran int (looks weird but true).
Therefore, several conversions are required in order to be able to go
from the Fortran layer into the C one.
As a result, a tool should never cross the language boundary by
itself. Instead it should call the pmpi function as provided by the
MPI library. This doesn't really fix the issue that started this email
thread, but at least clarify it a little bit.

Hi
I am trying to use the PMPI interface with OPENMPI to profile a
fortran
program.
I have tried with 1.28 and 1.3rc1 with --enable-mpi-profile switched
on.
The problem seems to be that if one eg. intercepts to call to
mpi_comm_rank_ (the fortran hook) then calls pmpi_comm_rank_ this
then
calls MPI_Comm_rank (the C hook) not PMPI_Comm_rank as it should.
So if one wants to create a library that can profile C and Fortran
codes
at the same time one ends up intercepting the mpi call twice. Which
is
not desirable and not what should happen (and indeed doesn't happen
in
other MPI implementations).
A simple example to illustrate is below. If somebody knows of a fix
to
avoid this issue that would be great !
Thanks
Nick.
