[mpich-discuss] MPI_Address()

[Michael Blocksome]

Would it be possible to make the inclusion of deprecated/deleted functions 
in the mpi.h header configurable?

If so, then a "strict" mpich library could be configured, compiled, and 
used to aid those who wish to port legacy applications to the new 
standard. By default, this "strict" mode would be disabled in order to 
preserve the current design decision.

There are a whole bunch of such functions that were deprecated in MPI 2.0 
(in 1997) and removed in MPI 3.0 (in 2012). We discussed whether to keep 
or remove them in MPICH, and decided to keep them so as not to 
gratuitously break user codes that still use the old functions.
