[mpich-discuss] MPICH3 and Nagfor: Corrupts writing/IO?

[Thompson, Matt (GSFC-610.1)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC]]

All,

I've been having some "fun" recently trying to get an MPI stack built 
with nagfor 6.1. I've tried Open MPI and MVAPICH2 and failed to even 
build the MPI stack, SGI MPT doesn't like nagfor, and Intel MPI I'm 
guessing wouldn't either.

So, I figured I'd go for MPICH3. And, lo and behold, building with 
nagfor 6.1 and gcc 5.3 (for CC and CXX) with:

>  ./configure --prefix=$SWDEV/MPI/mpich/3.2/nagfor_6.1-gcc_5.3-nomismatchall \
      --disable-wrapper-rpath CC=gcc CXX=g++ FC=nagfor F77=nagfor \
      CFLAGS='-fpic -m64' CXXFLAGS='-fpic -m64' \
      FCFLAGS='-PIC -abi=64' FFLAGS='-PIC -abi=64 -mismatch' \
      --enable-fortran=all --enable-cxx

I got something to build. Huzzah!

I then tried the cpi test, it worked! It even detected I was on slurm 
according to mpirun -verbose.

I then tried a simple Fortran 90 Hello world program and...crash:

Weird. So, I decided to try something different, this program:

> program main
>    implicit none
>    real :: a
>    a = 1240.0
>    write (*,*) "Hello world", a
> end program main

Looks boring and is standard-compliant and nagfor likes it:

> (1226) $ nagfor test.F90 && ./a.out
> NAG Fortran Compiler Release 6.1(Tozai) Build 6113
> [NAG Fortran Compiler normal termination]
>  Hello world   1.2400000E+03

Looks correct. Now let's try mpifort:

> (1232) $ mpifort test.F90 && ./a.out
> NAG Fortran Compiler Release 6.1(Tozai) Build 6113
> [NAG Fortran Compiler normal termination]
>  Hello world
> Segmentation fault (core dumped)

You can't really see it here, but that "Hello world" is surrounded by LF 
characters. Like a literal LineFeed...and then it core dumps.

Now let's try running with mpirun as well:

> (1233) $ mpifort test.F90 && mpirun -np 1 ./a.out
> NAG Fortran Compiler Release 6.1(Tozai) Build 6113
> [NAG Fortran Compiler normal termination]
> srun.slurm: cluster configuration lacks support for cpu binding

All righty then.

Does anyone have advice for this? I'll fully accept I configured MPICH3 
wrong as it's the first time in a while I've built MPICH (think MPICH2). 
But, still, I don't have any exciting flags.
