I notice test/mpi/io was available in the release of mpich2-1.0. To me, test programs in test/mpi/io can be moved to src/mpi/romio/test.

I suggest the other way around. MPICH's autogen.sh copies the test programs from ROMIO into MPICH. Here is my argument. ROMIO can become a stand alone module to be used...

If ROMIO is made stand alone, one should be able to run "make dist" to create a tar ball that can be built stand alone outside of MPICH. Running ROMIO's...

My goal is to make ROMIO stand-alone (self-contain). Ideally, all files it needs should be stored under its source tree. autogen.sh is one of the cord that needs to be...

For weak symbol issue, I assume you are referring to #4689. Maybe your post should be there. Note my PR is not skip the build of entire profiling APIs. It...

I don't know why you keep emphasizing the weak symbol issue. Can you point out which of my PRs is causing this problem? If the current ROMIO supports both weak...

I guess ROMIO must require a compiler that supports weak symbols and mpicc is built with weak symbol enabled when built stand-alone. On my mac, I was able to link...

``` % mpicc -show gcc -framework OpenCL -Wl,-flat_namespace -I/Users/wkliao/MPICH/include -L/Users/wkliao/MPICH/lib -lmpi -lpmpi ``` File config.log indicates weak symbol is supported. ``` configure:30575: checking whether __attribute__ ((weak)) allowed configure:30599: result: yes...

Please make the call, but make sure one can build ROMIO stand alone, i.e. not when building MPICH.

FYI. I am working with @roblatham00 to revise ROMIO, so it can be built stand alone. Enabling "make check" to run those test programs is part of the plan. If...
