Hi,
thanks, I remember that now. So it is a "documentation bug" in that
particular FAQ entry.

Hi, Dominik,
gfortran and ifort produce Fortran module files (*.mod) with completely
different and hence incompatible formats. You cannot use a module compiled
with gfortran in ifort and vice versa. That's why many Fortran libraries
come with explicit module interface definitions that have to be compiled
with the specific Fortran compiler before the library can be used as a
module.
Hope that helps to clarify the issue.
Kind regards,
Hristo

Subject: [OMPI users] bug in mpif90? OMPI_FC envvar does not work with
'use mpi'
Dear OMPI folks,
according to this FAQ entry
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=mpi-apps#override-wrappers-
after-v1.0
one way to use the mpif90 compiler wrapper with another compiler than
Open-MPI was built with is to set the envvar OMPI_FC to the other
compiler.
Using this simple toy code
program test
implicit none
include 'mpif.h'
integer :: ierr
call MPI_Init(ierr)
print *, "Hello"
call MPI_Finalize(ierr)
end program test
I indeed see the expected (and documented) behaviour:
bash$ export OMPI_FC=ifort
bash$ mpif90 test.f90
bash$ mpirun -np 3 ./a.out
Now, If I replace these two lines in the reproducer
implicit none
include 'mpif.h'
with these two lines (which is actually the MPI-2 way of doing things, as
Jeff
himself praises in this blog entry:
http://blogs.cisco.com/performance/a-bucket-full-of-new-mpi-fortran-
features)
use mpi
implicit none
I get this as the output of mpif90:
test.f90(7): error #7013: This module file was not generated by any
release of this compiler. [MPI]
use mpi
----^
compilation aborted for test.f90 (code 1)
There seems to be no language on this particular problem in the FAQs, so I
assume this is either a documentation bug or an actual bug in the compiler
wrappers. The approach is clearly marked as "not recommended", but
actually, this problem can be quite a showstopper because on laptops,
people (like me) are often too lazy to compile Open-MPI (and consequently,
valgrind and friends) multiple times, especially since the FAQ says that
this
should work :)
I am using the system gcc of ubuntu 12.04 (4.6.3-1ubuntu5) and OMPI 1.6.3.
Of course everything works if I use a properly installed machine that
provides
OpenMPI-builds for different compilers via modules, and also the oldish
"include 'mpif.h'" approach is a sufficient workaround.
Thanks for any clarification, hope this reproducer helps,
Cheers,
Dominik
