Dear all,
seemingly may (potential) users still do not realize that gfortran's
multi-image coarray support is not yet usable as only the basic libcaf
infrastructure (registering, deregistering, argument passing, syncing,
start up/close down, error stop - and all the coindex handling routines)
is implemented. The actual communication (pull/push coarray data,
locking) does not yet work.
Hence, although a lot of progress has been made in term of
infrastructure, multi-images are still not usable - not even for hello
world programs. (Unless you count "print *, this_image(),' of ',
num_images; end" as a such.)
I would be happy if someone could check the patch below but also the
following pages whether it is clear that they should not yet use
-fcoarray=lib with more than one image.
a) Release notes (cf. patch below):
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html#fortran
b) Wiki release notes: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran#GCC4.7
c) Coarrays in general: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Coarray
d) The most important page - as is describes how to compile the library
version: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CoarrayLib
