If so, it seems good that the compiler catches it.
I agree with your logic, but the problem is where the code containing the error is coming from - it's comping from a header files that's a part of Open MPI, which makes me think this is a compiler error, since I'm sure there are plenty of people using the same header file. in their code. -- Prentice
