MPIR doc needs updates for MPI-4 Sessions feature #677

Open hppritcha opened 1 year ago

hppritcha commented 1 year ago

Problem

The MPIR document describes an API for debuggers/tools which is growing old. It already mentions no support for MPI-2 spawn feature. A similar blurb should be added for the MPI-4 Sessions feature

Proposal

See https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpir/pull/5

Changes to the Text

See https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpir/pull/5

Impact on Implementations

none.

Impact on Users

TBD about how parallel debuggers may work with MPI applications which use Sessions exclusively

This should be tackled together with https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/672

@hppritcha Have a look at https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/672 and the corresponding PR and let me know whether this would already be covered. If not, feel free to add your input.
