Deprecate the '[*]' layout qualifier #38

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

This proposal is responsive to issue 63 of the open issues list.

63. Deprecate the '[*]' layout qualifier.  As noted in item 2 above, and in 
issue #31, there are portability issues that relate to possibly differing 
values of UPC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE that might cause a program using the '[*]' layout 
qualifier to compile on one target system/compiler, but fail to compile on 
another system which defines a smaller value of UPC_MAX_BLOCK_SIZE.  Further, 
the '[*]' form of a layout qualifier seems to offer limited utility.

Designate as "Enhancement" and target for version 1.4 of the specification.
