And use Linux types and no CamelCase and no typedefs (especially not for
pointers), you're not on Windows here.

Thanks,

We will reformat to have type and variable on one line as suggested by Hannes.

But it will be going have a huge change in the driver, if we want to
remove the CamelCase and typedefs. From legacy days onwards mpi
headers has the CamelCase type variable names and the same variables
are used in the code in large number of places. Also our MPI headers
are common across the OS platforms and so maintaining mpi headers
updates will be more difficult.
