The entire set of C++ language bindings have been deprecated.
The C++ bindings add minimal functionality over the C bindings while
incurring a significant amount of maintenance to the MPI specification.
Since the C++ bindings are effectively a one-to-one mapping of the C bindings,
it should be relatively easy to convert existing C++ MPI applications to use
the MPI C bindings.
Additionally, there are third party packages available that provide C++ class
library functionality (i.e., C++-specific functionality layered on top of the
MPI C bindings) that are likely more expressive and/or natural to C++
programmers and are not suitable for standardization in this specification.
( End of rationale.)
The following function typedefs have been deprecated and are
superseded by new names. Other than the typedef names, the function
signatures are exactly the same; the names were updated to match
conventions of other function typedef names.
Rationale.
| Deprecated Name | New Name | ||
| MPI_Comm_errhandler_fn | MPI_Comm_errhandler_function | ||
| MPI::Comm::Errhandler_fn | MPI::Comm::Errhandler_function | ||
| MPI_File_errhandler_fn | MPI_File_errhandler_function | ||
| MPI::File::Errhandler_fn | MPI::File::Errhandler_function | ||
| MPI_Win_errhandler_fn | MPI_Win_errhandler_function | ||
| MPI::Win::Errhandler_fn | MPI::Win:::Errhandler_function | ||
