[MITgcm-devel] OpenAD testing broken

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi,

The changes I made yesterday are breaking the OpenAD built (except for
halfpipe_streamice which does not use much of the ocean setting).

Nothing changed in forward test (since I kept the same default
and make sure we get the same machine truncation).
No issue with TAF since most of the changes/additions are in set_ref_state.F,
called from initialise_fixed.F (which is not seen by TAF).

With OpenAD, it's different. I can fix the compilation step by adding:
 find_hyd_press_1d.f
at the end of:
 pkg/openad/openad_ad_diff.list
but for some reasons (not very clear to me) the results are affected
(only checked with 1 exp. but going to process the other exp.):
now:
 Y Y Y Y 14>13< 8 pass  global_ocean.90x40x15
yesterday:
 Y Y Y Y 16>16<16 pass  global_ocean.90x40x15

Two questions:
1) Any idea why results are changing ?
2) Is there an other way to fix the problem that does not involve
  differentiating this new routine "FIND_HYD_PRESS_1D" (and calling
  routine "SET_REF_STATE") ?

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
