+Open MPI has detected that you have attached a debugger to this MPI
+job, and that debugger is using the legacy "MPIR" method of
+attachment.
+
+Please note that Open MPI has deprecated the "MPIR" debugger
+attachment method in favor of the new "PMIx" debugger attchment
+mechanisms.
+
+*** This means that future versions of Open MPI may not support the
+*** "MPIR" debugger attachment method at all.  Specifically: the
+*** debugger you just attached may not work with future versions of
+*** Open MPI.
+
+You may wish to contact your debugger vendor to inquire about support
+for PMIx-based debugger attachment mechanisms. Meantime, you can
+disable this warning by setting the OMPI_MPIR_DO_NOT_WARN envar to 1.
