Wei-keng,<br><br>I was looking at mpinetcdf.f90 - I now see that that was the wrong file (you should delete it from your repository). I'll have a look at pnetcdf.F90 next week and get back to you. But I do use nfmpi_get_var_all and if the interface doesn't contain it, it won't work for my app. I do think that I know how to add this though, I'll look into it and get back to you. <br>

In the Fortran interface I wrote, all pnetcdf APIs are indeed functions,<br>
not subroutines.<br>
<br>
Those APIs without a data type in their names are not supposed to be<br>
visible to users. Each pnetcdf API is designed for a specific data<br>
type, so it is easy to keep a file portable. I did not add<br>
nfmpi_get_var_all to the interface on purpose.<br>
<br>
Actually, pnetcdf does not have nfmpi_put_var_all, in which this API<br>
makes little sense (every process writes the entire variable).<br><font color="#888888">

I gave it a try to write something into configure but then realized that I would need to be able to link mpi in order to call the<br>
ncmpi_inq_libvers function which is something that you cannot do from configure on all platforms. I added a call in my libraries init function to that function so that I will get a runtime failure with a descent error message if the version is too old.<br>
<br>
As for the f90 interface - I'm afraid what you have there won't work. All of the subroutines should be functions and you are<br>
missing the interface I am using - the nfmpi_get_var_all and nfmpi_put_var_all types. I'm not sure yet but I think that I have something that will generate the f90 interfaces from a template file - let me give it a little thought, I may be able to contribute something here.<br>

Hi, Jim,<br>
<br>
I just uploaded a few changes to pnetcdf SVN. The most notable is the<br>
Fortran module that contains the declaration of all the APIs and their<br>
arguments. They should be able to detected most of the argument type<br>
mismatch.<br>
<br>
This is my first attempt and may contain hidden problems.<br>
Please give it a try and let me know.<br>
<br>
As for your suggestion on the library version, I think it is<br>
a good idea. But I am not familiar with configure utility.<br>
I will leave it to Rob Latham.<br>

I'm working on porting pio from parallel-netcdf 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 -<br>
the fortran API changed a length variable from type default integer to type mpi_offset_kind. This caused some errors<br>
that were a bit difficult to track down.<br>
<br>
So now my updated PIO won't work with an earlier version of pnetcdf and I want to build this into<br>
<a href="http://configure.ac" target="_blank">configure.ac</a> Does anyone on this list already have this test? The string provided by the pnetcdf library<br>
isn't very parser friendly and the string in the svn trunk version is the same as the 1.1.0 release...<br>
<br>
const char *<br>
ncmpi_inq_libvers(void) {<br>
return "version = 1.1.0 of 02 November 2009";<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
Can I request a more parser friendly function and perhaps an svn generated version number so that we can distinguish between the<br>
release version and a repository check out?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
