4.18. Profiling Interface

The profiling interface, as described in Chapter 8 of MPI-1.1, must be supported for all MPI-2 functions, except those allowed as macros (See Section Functions and Macros ). This requires, in C and Fortran, an alternate entry point name, with the prefix PMPI_ for each MPI function. The profiling interface in C++ is described in Section Profiling .

For routines implemented as macros, it is still required that the PMPI_ version be supplied and work as expected, but it is not possible to replace at link time the MPI_ version with a user-defined version. This is a change from MPI-1.2.
