Since other constants are either for information (type, window and communicator's name, processor name and library version string) or with only a portable subset (datarep of file views), their truncation is less at risk of provoking issues in their uses.

Support of MPIX_ Functions
==========================

MPIX_ functions represent experimental or extended features that are not part of the
official MPI standard. These functions are provided by some MPI implementations to explore
new capabilities or optimizations that may be considered for future inclusion in the MPI
standard. However, the availability and behavior of MPIX_ functions can vary significantly
between different MPI implementations, leading to potential portability and compatibility
issues.

Wi4MPI is designed to provide a high degree of portability and interoperability between
different MPI implementations, facilitating the development and execution of MPI
applications across a diverse range of HPC environments. To maintain this level of
compatibility and to ensure a stable and predictable behavior of MPI applications, **Wi4MPI
does not fully support MPIX_ functions**; this support is provided on a case-by-case basis.
At momment, **MPIX_Query_cuda_support** is supported. The support of other functions will
be evaluated on demand.
