fortran.m4: disallow when sizeof(int) != sizeof(INTEGER)
NOTE: This is intentionally not a cherry pick from master. Instead,
this is a cherry-pick from the equivalent commit on the v4.0.x branch.
See below.
There is a problem with the mpi_f08 module when sizeof(int) !=
sizeof(INTEGER): the size of TYPE(MPI_Status) is too small. This
causes buffer overruns when Open MPI is configured with (for example)
sizeof(int)==4 and sizeof(INTEGER)==8, and then you call the mpi_f08
MPI_RECV subroutine. This will end up copying the resulting C
MPI_Status to the buffer pointing to the Fortran status, but the code
does not know if the Fortran status is an mpif.h status or a
TYPE(MPI_Status) -- it just blindly copies over as if the Fortran
status is an INTEGER array of length MPI_STATUS_SIZE. Unfortunately,
TYPE(MPI_Status) is actually smaller than this, so we overrun the
buffer. Hilarity ensues.
The simple fix for this is to make TYPE(MPI_Status) the same size as
INTEGER(MPI_STATUS_SIZE), but we can't do that here on the release
branch because it will break ABI.
However:
1. It is a fairly uncommon case to have sizeof(int) !=
sizeof(INTEGER)
2. This has not worked since v4.0.0, so it is not a regression
So instead of fixing it, we just now explicitly disallow this case:
configure will abort if sizeof(int) != sizeof(INTEGER).
Thanks to @ahaichen for reporting the issue.
Note: the proper fix has been implemented on master (i.e., what will
become v5.0.0), but since that breaks ABI, we can't cherry pick it
back here to an existing release branch series. Hence, we
cherry-picked this fix from the v4.0.x branch.
