There is a proposal that has passed one vote so far to deprecate
the C++ bindings in MPI-2.2 (meaning: still have them, but advise
against using them). This opens the door for potentially removing
the C++ bindings in MPI-3.0.
Is it the reason for this to boost the 'boost' library adoption?
As has been mentioned on this thread already, the official MPI C++
bindings are fairly simplistic -- they take advantage of a few
language features, but not a lot. They are effectively a 1-to-1
mapping to the C bindings. The Boost.MPI library added quite a few
nice C++-friendly abstractions on top of MPI. But if Boost is
unattractive for you, then your best bet is probably just to use
the C bindings.
