[FLASH-USERS] Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.

[Reyes, Adam]

Hi Amar,

How exactly did you change those lines? MPI_Type_get_extent has a different interface and so a line like

  call MPI_Type_extent(FLASH_REAL, realExtent, ierr)

Should be transformed to

  call MPI_Type_extent(FLASH_REAL, realLb,realExtent, ierr)

Or something similar to maintain the same behavior in FLASH.

I’m attaching a patch that can be applied to the unmodified source, just put it in the root FLASH directory and run

	patch -p1 < 0001-MPI_TYPE_GET_EXTENT-in-timers.patch  

Or you can look at the diff and see how it should work.
