To meet the MPI profiling interface, an implementation of the MPI functions must
2. ensure that those MPI functions which are not replaced may still be
linked into an executable image without causing name clashes.
3. document the implementation of different language bindings of the MPI
interface if they are layered on top of each other, so that the
profiler developer knows whether she must implement the profile
interface for each binding, or can economise by implementing it only
for the lowest level routines.
4. where the implementation of different language bindings is is done
through a layered approach (e.g. the Fortran binding is a set of
``wrapper'' functions which call the C implementation), ensure that
these wrapper functions are separable from the rest of the library.
This is necessary to allow a separate profiling library to be correctly implemented, since (at least with Unix linker semantics) the profiling library must contain these wrapper functions if it is to perform as expected. This requirement allows the person who builds the profiling library to extract these functions from the original MPI library and add them into the profiling library without bringing along any other unnecessary code.
5. provide a no-op routine MPI_PCONTROL in the MPI library.
