There are some open issues that we should discuss so I can finalize the C binding spec. *PLEASE READ THROUGH THE BELOW LIST OF ISSUES!* Unless I hear contrary opinions in the next day or two, I will handle the below issues as indicated. That means I will have the next version ready by COB CET on Wednesday. Tracker #780: There are two interesting proposals in this tracker, but both are significant changes. We simply do not have enough time before Friday to come to a reasonable conclusion. Since it is a P3 tracker, I suggest we save it for later. Tracker #1094: The proposal is that either the signed keyword should be removed from the timeout parameter of the drmaa_wait() and drmaa_synchronize() functions (since signed is the default behavior), or its presence needs to be explained. I'm all for adding a short bit of text that explains why the attribute is signed. If no one objects, I will add that to the next version. Tracker #1127/#1141: The C-binding document should explicitly define the linkage name of the DRMAA library and explicitly demand the implementation as shared library. I consider this a no-brainer. Unless there are objections, I will add it to the next version. Tracker #1143: The DRMAA_DURATION_HLIMIT and DRMAA_DURATION_SLIMIT constants in drmaa.h have misspellings in their definitions ("durartion"). No brainer. I'm adding it to the next version. Tracker #1144: There are several errors in the DRMAA C binding example. Do we want to fix the errors or write a new example? In the online howtos at http://gridengine.sunsource.net, there are several *working* examples which could be used instead. Thoughts? Tracker #1173: The drmaa_get_next_*_*() functions needs their own error code to indicate that there are no more elements left to traverse. Since we broke trump on new error codes with the C binding, I think it's completely reasonable to say that a given binding may need an error code not forseen by the language independent spec. Therefore, unless there are objections, I will add this to the next version. Tracker #1269: Developers need a way to get the element count of the DRMAA String vector types. The vote on this one was 3 for, 1 against, with 1 abstaining. Did we have a quorum? Is this ratified? I am going to assume so and add it to the next version.
