What was the idea behind defining the C interface for MPI_Pcontrol as,
 
MPI_Pcontrol(const int level, É)
 
Adding the const was a joke, right? It's completely meaningless.
 
Btw: all those that are worried about compilers compliant with the const keyword, here you go. We have const in the mpi.h header from MPI v1. The mpi C/C++ compilers are able to handle that keyword.
 
Thanks,
