error when reading namelists

[andmirek]

Context

New way of reading namelists doesn't work with newer CRAY compilers (cce/8.7.7, cce/8.7.11). When trying to run sette, NEMO executable produces errors of the type:

misspelled variable in namelist namcfg in reference namelist iostat =

and fails.

Analysis

Recommendation

Should we have an option to use the old method to read namelits protected by cpp directive?

Are you sure it is the internal file reading that is in error? Seems unlikely since the error you report is in the namelist_cfg which means the namelist_ref has already been read?

I've just noticed I had changes in the branch I was using. I'm trying now branch without changes.

For the branch without my changes the errors (misspelled variable) are for namctl for both reference and configuration namelist, and nammpp for configuration namelist. Exactly the same code runs fine with an older compiler version (8.3.4).

I'll try sette for the latest trunk now and will do the same for revision before changing the way namelists are read.

trunk@12367 - no problems with reading namelists with 8.7.7. Still sette failed, but with NaNs? (completed OK with compiler version 8.3.4). I wasn't sure which revision of sette to use, so adopted the latest revision by changing namelists parameters. The test I was looking at was ORCA2_ICE_PISCES.

After changing to the old version of reading namelists (for namctl and namcfg only) namctl and namcfg we read correctly. So it looks new(er) CRAY compilers do not handle new method of reading namelists correctly.
