We have some MPI test results now. Matthias should have a look and report on the failures there. Then we can decide whether there are any showstoppers.
Marshal, can you make sure Matthias has access to your test results?
I saw some test results, and they are the failures I also sometimes see: the skeleton&contents tests sometimes fail, and sometimes work. This is the same as in the past and Doug Gregor had explained it as a problem of the underlying MPI implementation. Looking deeper into it would require more time than is available. These are not regressions but issues that have been around for a while.
Thanks, Matthias. This is good enough for me to feel comfortable moving ahead with the 1.40 release. Beman, Jeremiah, any objections?
Are there any concerns with the Intel problems I posted about? Does MPL's static assert mechanism have any problems on that platform? If I can run the tests on GCC 4.3 on Linux here, I think I can accept intermittent failures on that same platform on another machine. What MPI is Steve using, and what version? -- Jeremiah Willcock
