Both MPI_Win_allocate and MPI_Win_allocate_shared allocate memory and return a pointer #21

Victor Eijkhout commented on slack:

"win_allocate differs from win_create in that the user does not pass allocated memory; win_allocate returns a pointer to &c" This is correct but incomplete. both times should read win_allocate/allocate_shared.

Seems like an easy fix.

This has been resolved in MPI 4.1
