There is no need for this change. It accomplishes nothing for the standard. A better fix is to make the Fortran and C text consistent by deleting the cross reference; this is something that should be done by the chapter committee.

Description
This change is for consistency reasons between Fortran and C related text. The proposed reference is given only for Fortran users (page 19 line 13). It is not given for C users (page 19 lines 32-33).
Level is ticket-0.
History
This small inconsistency was overseen when finishing MPI-3.0. This ticket #422 was split into its parts. This ticket is one part H of #422.
Extended Scope
None. (No need to add these changes to the erratas.)
Proposed Solution
-MPI-3.0 page 19 lines 32-33 read*
Almost all C functions return an error code. The successful return code will be MPI_SUCCESS, but failure return codes are implementation dependent.
-but should read*
Almost all C functions return an error code. The successful return code will be MPI_SUCCESS, but failure return codes are implementation dependent, see the error codes in Chapter 8 and Annex A.
Alternative Solutions
None.
Impact on Implementations
None required.
Impact on Applications / Users
None.
Entry for the Change Log
None.
Voting category
Single-vote in category MPI-3.0-errata.
It would be possible to decide it by the chapter committee (because of ticket-0 quality), but this committee is currently very small, and therefore errata-vote is better.
Although it is MPI-3.0 errata, i.e. corrections of inconsistencies in the MPI-3.0 document, it is not necessary to publish this item in the MPI-3.0 errata document due to the minor priority of this item. It is enough to have them in the MPI-3.1 document.
