[mpich-discuss] Fortran 08 tests with 'use mpi'

Ken,

while updating the F08 tests with this bugfix, I may have found another 
bug inside the 'use mpi_f08' wrappers.

The fix removes (superficially) the error in irsendf08, but I still get 
the same error in pssendf08. This has to do with the array of indices 
returned by MPI_Testsome: With the 'use mpi_f08' wrappers, the indices 
in this array are 0-indexed although they should start from 1 according 
to the Standard (they do start from 1 with the 'use mpi' and 'mpif.h' 
functions). I have attached a minimal working example to confirm this.

Indeed, the function mpi_testsome_ (in 
src/binding/fortran/mpif_h/fortran_binding.c) converts the indices:

         for (int i = 0; i < (*outcount); i++) {
             array_of_indices[i] += 1;
         }

The subroutine MPI_Testsome_f08 (in 
src/binding/fortran/use_mpi_f08/wrappers_f/f08ts.f90) does no such 
conversion.

The bug is also in MPI_Testany (and potentially other functions I did 
not test yet).

However, without detailed knowledge about internals of MPICH I might not 
be the best person to fix the issue.

Greetings,

Gregor

A fix for the f77 versions was added previously in https://github.com/pmodels/mpich/pull/3962/commits/69b02eaabcdb0008f3879372629cfe92f98e8d56, though it does not cover the prsendf test. Perhaps you could add a commit to your branch to fix these tests in a similar way.

It would require some churn of the existing tests. It may also complicate the addition of new, as the author would need to adhere to guidelines that may not be obvious without prior knowledge.
