 * functions (e.g., strncmp) are supported.
 *
 * Processes may engage in multiple simultaneous group construct operations as
 * desired so long as each is provided with a unique group ID. The info array
 * can be used to pass user-level directives regarding timeout constraints and
 * other options available from the PMIx server.
 *
 * The construct leader (if PMIX_GROUP_LEADER is provided) or all participants
 * will receive events (if registered for the PMIX_GROUP_MEMBER_FAILED event)
 * whenever a process fails or terminates prior to calling
 * PMIx_Group_construct(_nb) – the events will contain the identifier of the
 * process that failed to join plus any other information that the resource
 * manager provided. This provides an opportunity for the leader to react to
 * the event – e.g., to invite an alternative member to the group or to decide
 * to proceed with a smaller group. The decision to proceed with a smaller group
 * is communicated to the PMIx library in the results array at the end of the
 * event handler. This allows PMIx to properly adjust accounting for procedure
 * completion. When construct is complete, the participating PMIx servers will
 * be alerted to any change in participants and each group member will (if
 * registered) receive a PMIX_GROUP_MEMBERSHIP_UPDATE event updating the group
 * membership.
 *
 * Processes in a group under construction are not allowed to leave the group
 * until group construction is complete. Upon completion of the construct
 * procedure, each group member will have access to the job-level information
 * of all nspaces represented in the group and the contact information for
 * every group member.
 *
 * Failure of the leader at any time will cause a PMIX_GROUP_LEADER_FAILED event
 * to be delivered to all participants so they can optionally declare a new leader.
 * A new leader is identified by providing the PMIX_GROUP_LEADER attribute in
 * the results array in the return of the event handler. Only one process is
 * allowed to return that attribute, declaring itself as the new leader. Results
 * of the leader selection will be communicated to all participants via a
 * PMIX_GROUP_LEADER_SELECTED event identifying the new leader. If no leader
 * was selected, then the status code provided in the event handler will provide
 * an error value so the participants can take appropriate action.
 *
 * Any participant that returns PMIX_GROUP_CONSTRUCT_ABORT from the leader failed
 * event handler will cause the construct process to abort. Those processes
 * engaged in the blocking construct will return from the call with the
 * PMIX_GROUP_CONSTRUCT_ABORT status. Non-blocking participants will have
 * their callback function executed with that status.
 *
 * Some relevant attributes for this operation:
 *    PMIX_GROUP_LEADER - declare this process to be the leader of the construction
 *                        procedure. If a process provides this attribute, then
 *                        failure notification for any participating process will
 *                        go only to that one process. In the absence of a
 *                        declared leader, failure events go to all participants.
 *    PMIX_GROUP_OPTIONAL - participation is optional - do not return an error if
 *                          any of the specified processes terminate
 *                          without having joined (default=false)
 *    PMIX_GROUP_NOTIFY_TERMINATION - notify remaining members when another member
 *                                    terminates without first leaving the
 *                                    group (default=false)
 *    PMIX_GROUP_ASSIGN_CONTEXT_ID - requests that the RM assign a unique context
 *                                   ID (size_t) to the group. The value is returned
 *                                   in the PMIX_GROUP_CONSTRUCT_COMPLETE event
 *    PMIX_TIMEOUT - return an error if the group doesn't assemble within the

 * The destruct API will return an error if any group process fails or terminates
 * prior to calling PMIx_Group_destruct or its non-blocking version unless the
 * PMIX_GROUP_NOTIFY_TERMINATION attribute was provided (with a value of true) at
 * time of group construction. If notification was requested, then a event will
 * be delivered (using PMIX_GROUP_MEMBER_FAILED) for each process that fails to
 * call destruct and the destruct tracker updated to account for the lack of
 * participation. The PMIx_Group_destruct operation will subsequently return
 * PMIX_SUCCESS when the remaining processes have all called destruct – i.e., the

/******     EVENT NOTIFICATION SUPPORT      ******/
/* Register an event handler to report events. Three types of events
 * can be reported:
 *
 * (a) those that occur within the client library, but are not
 *     reportable via the API itself (e.g., loss of connection to
 *     the server). These events typically occur during behind-the-scenes
 *     non-blocking operations.
 *
 * (b) job-related events such as the failure of another process in
 *     the job or in any connected job, impending failure of hardware
 *     within the job's usage footprint, etc.
 *
 * (c) system notifications that are made available by the local
 *     administrators
 *
 * By default, only events that directly affect the process and/or
 * any process to which it is connected (via the PMIx_Connect call)
 * will be reported. Options to modify that behavior can be provided
 * in the info array
 *
 * Both the client application and the resource manager can register
 * err handlers for specific events. PMIx client/server calls the registered
 * err handler upon receiving event notify notification (via PMIx_Notify_event)
 * from the other end (Resource Manager/Client application).
 *
 * Multiple err handlers can be registered for different events. PMIX returns
 * an integer reference to each register handler in the callback fn. The caller
 * must retain the reference in order to deregister the evhdlr.
 * Modification of the notification behavior can be accomplished by
 * deregistering the current evhdlr, and then registering it
 * using a new set of info values.
 *
 * If cbfunc is NULL, then this is treated as a BLOCKING call - a positive
 * return value represents the reference ID for the request, while
 * negative values indicate the corresponding error
 *
 * See pmix_common.h for a description of the notification function */

 * call - otherwise, the pack_value function will return an error.
 * Providing an unsupported type flag will likewise be reported as an error.

 * will return an error code (generated upon unpacking) -
 * the error cannot be detected during packing.
 *
 * The identity of the intended recipient of the packed buffer (i.e., the
 * process that will be unpacking it) is used solely to resolve any data type
 * differences between PMIx versions. The recipient must, therefore, be
 * known to the user prior to calling the pack function so that the
 * PMIx library is aware of the version the recipient is using.
 *
 * @param *target Pointer to a pmix_proc_t structure containing the

 * the same PMIx version as the caller.
 *
 * @param *buffer A pointer to the buffer into which the value is to
 * be packed.
 *
 * @param *src A void* pointer to the data that is to be packed. Note
 * that strings are to be passed as (char **) - i.e., the caller must
 * pass the address of the pointer to the string as the void*. This
 * allows PMIx to use a single pack function, but still allow
 * the caller to pass multiple strings in a single call.
 *
 * @param num_values An int32_t indicating the number of values that are
 * to be packed, beginning at the location pointed to by src. A string

 * The buffer must have already been initialized via an PMIX_DATA_BUFFER_CREATE or
 * PMIX_DATA_BUFFER_CONSTRUCT call (and assumedly filled with some data) -
 * otherwise, the unpack_value function will return an
 * error. Providing an unsupported type flag will likewise be reported

 * end of the stored data held in the buffer will also return an
 * error.
 *
 * NOTE: it is possible for the buffer to be corrupted and that
 * PMIx will *think* there is a proper variable type at the
 * beginning of an unpack region - but that the value is bogus (e.g., just
 * a byte field in a string array that so happens to have a value that
 * matches the specified data type flag). Therefore, the data type error check
 * is NOT completely safe. This is true for ALL unpack functions.
 *
 *
 * Unpacking values is a "nondestructive" process - i.e., the values are
 * not removed from the buffer. It is therefore possible for the caller
 * to re-unpack a value from the same buffer by resetting the unpack_ptr.
 *
 * Warning: The caller is responsible for providing adequate memory
 * storage for the requested data. As noted below, the user
 * must provide a parameter indicating the maximum number of values that
 * can be unpacked into the allocated memory. If more values exist in the
 * buffer than can fit into the memory storage, then the function will unpack
 * what it can fit into that location and return an error code indicating
 * that the buffer was only partially unpacked.
 *
 * Note that any data that was not hard type cast (i.e., not type cast
 * to a specific size) when packed may lose precision when unpacked by
 * a non-homogeneous recipient.  PMIx will do its best to deal with
 * heterogeneity issues between the packer and unpacker in such
 * cases. Sending a number larger than can be handled by the recipient
 * will return an error code generated upon unpacking - these errors
 * cannot be detected during packing.
 *
 * The identity of the source of the packed buffer (i.e., the
 * process that packed it) is used solely to resolve any data type
 * differences between PMIx versions. The source must, therefore, be
 * known to the user prior to calling the unpack function so that the
 * PMIx library is aware of the version the source used.
 *
 * @param *source Pointer to a pmix_proc_t structure containing the
 * nspace/rank of the process that packed the provided buffer.
 * A NULL value may be used to indicate that the source is based on
 * the same PMIx version as the caller.
 *
 * @param *buffer A pointer to the buffer from which the value will be
 * extracted.
 *
 * @param *dest A void* pointer to the memory location into which the
 * data is to be stored. Note that these values will be stored
 * contiguously in memory. For strings, this pointer must be to (char
 * **) to provide a means of supporting multiple string
 * operations. The unpack function will allocate memory for each
