MPI-2, page 179, lines 4-5 change

Thus, the names of MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_COMM_SELF, and MPI_COMM_PARENT
will have the default of MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_COMM_SELF, and MPI_COMM_PARENT.

2:  %MPI_UNPACK_EXTERNAL


MPI2, page 79,  Line 11 is

MPI_UNPACK_EXTERNAL (datarep, inbuf, incount, datatype, outbuf, outsize,
position)

but should be

MPI_UNPACK_EXTERNAL (datarep, inbuf, insize, position, outbuf, outcount,
datatype)





3:  %Additional C++ binding errors


MPI-2, page 337, line 31-32 reads

              void* attribute_val) const

4:  %MPI_REQUEST_CANCEL used where MPI_CANCEL intended


On page 172, line 37 in section 8.2, change MPI_REQUEST_CANCEL to
MPI_CANCEL.  




5:  %Intercommunicator collective and datatypes


MPI-2, page 163, line 22 reads


Within each group, all processes provide the same recvcounts
argument, and the sum of the recvcounts entries should be the same for
the two groups. 

but should read

Within each group, all processes provide the same recvcounts
argument, and the sum of the recvcounts entries and
datatype should 
specify the same type signature for the two groups. 





6:  %const in C++ specification of predefined MPI objects


MPI-2, page 345, line 37: Remove the const from const MPI::Op.

MPI-2, page 346, line 20:  Remove the const from const MPI::Group.

MPI-2, page 346, add after line 34:
Advice to implementors: 
    If an implementation does not change the value of
    predefined handles while execution of MPI_Init, the implementation is free 
    to define the predefined operation handles as const MPI::Op and the predefined 
    group handle MPI::GROUP_EMPTY as const MPI::Group.
    Other predefined handles must not be "const" because they are allowed as
    INOUT argument in the  MPI_COMM_SET_NAME/ATTR and MPI_TYPE_SET_NAME/ATTR
    routines.
End of advice to implementors



7:  %Error in MPI_Scan Example
