#2818: failing tests with gcc-14

 Reporter: Roland Haas
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: 
     Type: bug
 Priority: major
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

I see failing tests, at least TestProlongate maybe others, but not all of them, when compiling the ET \(Landau or development\) with gcc-14.

This

```
./utils/Scripts/MakeThornList --master thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th arrangements/CarpetX/TestProlongate/test/test_cc_co_o1.par >thornlists/test_cc_co_o1.th
```

produces a thornlist one can try this out with. Eg for `test_natural_o7.diffs` the test system reports

```
   testprolongate-gf001_count.it000002.x.tsv: substantial differences
      significant differences on 68 (out of 39) lines
      missing  29 lines in new testprolongate-gf001_count.it000002.x.tsv
      maximum absolute difference in column 2 is 0.0166666666666667
      maximum relative difference in column 2 is 0.25
```

and looking at the log files there seems to be an issue that only a single refinement level is created compared to 2 when compiled with gcc-13:

```
INFO (CarpetX): Regridding...
INFO (CarpetX): Setting max_grid_size values for all levels before regridding
INFO (CarpetX): ErrorEst patch 0 level 0                                                                INFO (CarpetX): ErrorEst patch 0 level 0 done. Set/clear/total=0/27000/27000=0%/100%/100%               INFO (CarpetX):   old levels 1, new levels 1
INFO (CarpetX):   level 0: 1 boxes, 27000 cells (100%)
```

so this does not seem to be just some sort of roundoff error thing to me.

Diff of the interesting bit of the log file
