Suspicous history writing errors with pgi about cice

[mattdturner]

Debug runs with PGI include the -Mchkptr compile flag. This flag is supposed to "Check for unintended de-referencing of NULL pointers." a2d is an allocatable array, not a pointer. Removing this runtime check results in the model running to completion. This suggests to me that it is a problem with pgi, but that is just my opinion.

If you want to add a PGI build to CI, I have a script at https://github.com/nemequ/pgi-travis which should make it pretty easy.

@nemequ, cool, thanks for sharing!
EDIT: It seems @nemequ also developed a similar repository for Intel compilers. A license is needed, but may be worth considering by the CICE-Consortium.

Unfortunately,Intel changed how their license server works after I wrote that. Now you can only have (IIRC) 5 active installations, and the only way to deactivate an installation is to log into their web site and manually remove it (i.e., we can't just uninstall the compiler after everything else is done). Unless you want to log in to Intel's web site every few builds you'll end up with build failures from Travis. I've pretty much stopped maintaining that repo since the change.

I am not seeing this problem anymore. We have updated some of the pgi compiler options over the last few months among other things. I'm going to mark it wontfix and close it.
