mpif: MPI Fortran bindings

This package provides Fortran bindings for MPI, given any C implementation of MPI. A major use case is the new MPI ABI which is only specified for C.

mpif provides the MPI standard version 5.0.

Status

mpif currently implements almost all Fortran bindings for the mpif.h, use mpi, and use mpi_f08 parts. Notable exceptions are callbacks (e.g. user-defined operators) which are not yet supported. Adding this support is planned.

Directory structure

• bin: scripts (mpifort)
• data: the machine-readable MPI standard
• dev: development scripts; the code generator lives here
• gen: generated code
• include: include files
• src: source files
• test: tests

The tests are an indepdendent cmake project. They require the mpif package to be properly installed. This allows testing not just the mpif implementation but also whether its installation procedure is working. Given that autotools and cmake use an outdated and awkward method to find MPI (instead of, say, just using pkgconfig), this installation procedure needs testing as well.
