Documentation out of date #3

Closed gold2718 closed 7 years ago

gold2718 commented 7 years ago

There is a general issue of documentation being out of date (e.g., README has not been updated in nearly 30 months). Some is easy -- add missing items to README. One question I have is about generation of files. The top of mpif.h says:

!!!
!!!   NOTE: The files mpif.realXdoubleY.h are generated from
!!!   mpif.master.h using make-mpif and later copied to mpif.h
!!!   during the library make.  All modifications should be
!!!   made to mpif.master.h
!!!

I cannot find any sign of this infrastructure. Is there any sort of code generation going on in mpi-serial? Any objections to getting rid of the comment?

Any objections to getting rid of NOTES? It seems ignored and out of date.

Yes you can remove NOTES. Yes you can get rid of that comment. The code generation went away with the conversion to autotools.
