redefining MPI_LONG_LONG_INT
Hi everybody,
It's just stricken my eye that the MPI_LONG_LONG_INT as voted in last time
conflicts with the usual meaning of the MPI_type_INT constants. Those are
normally used to indicate a <type,MPI_INT> pair suitable for the MPI_MINLOC and
MPI_MAXLOC reduction operations.
>From this point of view, the now affirmed equivalence of the MPI_LONG_LONG_INT
and MPI_LONG_LONG (item 16 of the 1st bunch) looks fairly unfortunate, doesn't
it?
I think that it's better to roll this particular change back and reintroduce the
MPI_LONG_LONG_INT (if need be) consistently with the rest of the standard.
Best regards.
