+.. _cfg=smpi/errors-are-fatal:
+
+Disable MPI fatal errors
+........................
+
+**Option** ``smpi/errors-are-fatal`` **default:** on
+
+By default, SMPI processes will crash if a MPI error code is returned. MPI allows
+to explicitely set MPI_ERRORS_RETURN errhandler to avoid this behaviour. This flag
+will turn on this behaviour by default (for all concerned types and errhandlers).
+This can ease debugging by going after the first reported error.
+
+.. _cfg=smpi/pedantic:
+
+Disable pedantic MPI errors
+...........................
+
+**Option** ``smpi/pedantic`` **default:** on
+
+By default, SMPI will report all errors it finds in MPI codes. Some of these errors
+may not be considered as errors by all developers. This flag can be turned off to
+avoid reporting some usually harmless mistakes.
+Concerned errors list (will be expanded in the future):
+
+ - Calling MPI_Win_fence only once in a program, hence just opening an epoch without
+ ever closing it.
