[mpich-discuss] MPI weak symbols and gfortran

[Rajeev Thakur]

The Fortran compiler adds an underscore (or two) to the function name. So the linker will be looking for MPI_Init_ . See the code in mpich/src/binding to see how MPICH handles this.

However when using a fortran program, it does not work: the original functions are called. When I do "nm myprog" I see that MPI_Init and PMPI_Init have the same address, which is not the case with a C program. I also tried to compile the fortran program into a .o file using gfortran, then use gcc to link it to mpich, but I get the same result? Any workaround?
