A workaround has been introduced for a bug in the Cray compiler, where the NULL() intrinsic fails to return a pointer of the correct type. Rather than using NULL() directly as a subroutine argument, it is assigned to a variable which is passed to the subroutines.

Description
The Cray compiler contains a bug where the
NULL()intrinsic fails to produce a pointer of the correct type when it is passed directly to a subroutine expecting a pointer to a derived type.This PR implements a workaround where
NULL()is assigned to a variable which is passed to the subroutine, rather than callingNULL()directly as a subroutine argument.How Has This Been Tested?
Builds with Cray compiler 15.0.1 on C5.
