Intel 2023 and MAPL 2.26

[lizziel]

I have a question from a GCHP user about the following compiler issue with Oneapi 23. Have you seen this? What are the Intel versions supported in MAPL 2.26?

Original issue at geoschem/GCHP#465.

We have seen this before, though the details have escaped my memory. At best this is a misdiagnosis of an actual problem, but I think it is due to a compiler error.

@mathomp4 can list which Intel versions we currently test with.

Well this is odd. I mean, I see in my notes I encountered this before, but I do not seem to have a solution noted. And those two files were a year or so old even at MAPL 2.26 time.

If this is 2023.1 that is ifort 2021.8 maybe? And that's a version we never tested with due to the OS update at NCCS (we had 2021.6 and 2021.7). Moreover, since MAPL 2.26 is from 2022, we never would have been able to.

I want to say 2023.2.1 was the first of the 2023 we tested with and that is ifort 2021.10. We do know that we had other bugs in GEOS that worked with 2021.6 and that 2021.10 fixed them.

Are you able to try a newer version of Intel ifort?
