Description
Intel compiler version 19.1.0.20200306 (and above, presumably) complains:
error #8889: Explicit declaration of the EXTERNAL attribute is required
This can be solved by using the newer
mpi_f08
module and accompanying newer datatypes.Open question: if this change is acceptable, should https://github.com/libocca/occa/blob/main/scripts/compiler/fortranCompilerSupportsMPI.f90 also use
mpi_f08
?Alternative: add
-warn noexternal
to compiler flags to suppress the warning (this was the 'fix' I had in place locally before trying to actually fix it).
