What, precisely, requires that, at least if you can recompile the MPI
program with appropriate options? (Presumably it's features of the
Fortran/C interfacing and/or Fortran runtime, but the former may be
influenced by compilation options, and I'd hope the glue didn't
require
the compiler runtime -- the Intel compiler is on the list to check.)
See https://svn.open-mpi.org/source/xref/ompi_1.3/README#257.
It's obviously of interest to those of us facing combinatorial
explosion
of libraries we're expected to install.
Indeed. In OMPI, we tried to make this as simple as possible. But
unless you use specific compiler options to hide their differences, it
isn't possible and is beyond our purview to fix. :-( (similar
situation with the C++ bindings)
Also, is there any reason to use mpi-selector rather than switcher?
Nope -- they do about the same thing.
