Deprecate MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED #539

Open
@GuillaumeMercier

Description

@GuillaumeMercier

Problem

MPI_COMM_TYPE_RESOURCE_GUIDED achieves the same objective as
MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED and is more generic. There would be no need
for both, provided that MPI_COMM_TYPE_RESOURCE_GUIDED is voted in.

Proposal

Deprecate the use of MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED

Changes to the Text

Remove the text that defines MPI_COMM_TYPE_HW_GUIDED in MPI_Comm_split_type
as it will be eventually duplicated in the text describing MPI_COMM_TYPE_RESOURCE_GUIDED .

Impact on Implementations

None.

Impact on Users

The users would have to change a constant name in their applications.
