From: "Rob Latham" <[email protected]> Once you re-sync with MPICH, this use case will work -- integer, float, and double have the same size types in native and external32 format.

're=sync' meaning we get to MPICH 3.0? or we pick up new work/fixes related to ticket 1754?

former: whenver you pull in MPICH 3.0.

If you really really need external 32 bits right now you can cherry pick fec9f28d0b67a8e6912b1a309b2739a2551b83d2 064194da2a8f30f52dd512693b34dad4f209497d and d8eec5491fa0929d43da3086230795a2fb1c6545

The meat of the work in ticket 1754 is yet to be done.

FWIW, you may have some of these commits already if you're up to 1.5 already: ----8<---- % for c in fec9f2 064194 d8eec5 ; do git describe --contains $c ; done v1.5~62 v1.5~57 v3.0.3~53 ----8<---- -Dave
