[MITgcm-devel] 2 little things

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Ed,

2 things:

1) if I want to do a mpi test, 
testreport -mpi -of my_optfile 
is not enough to turn on the mpi switch, I also need to have 
-DALLOW_USE_MPI -DALWAYS_USE_MPI in "my_optfile"

So, I was right when I was saying that this was the reason why the 
pgf77 + mpi test was failling on itrda (from last Nov until end of 
January)

2) I try to put check-bounds option with ifc on itrda and
all the exp. that use mnc fail with this message:

> forrtl: severe (408): fort: (4): Variable VNAME has substring ending point 3 
which is greater than the variable length of 2

It could be a compiler problem (since ifc + check-bounds work on cg01)
but it might also mean that there is a small problem in mnc code.

I will check-in the optfile but, for now, with this "check-bounds" 
option commented out.  If you want to investigate were this error 
message comes from ...

Thanks,

Jean-Michel
