Without this change then NEURON fails to compile with the latest NVIDIA HPC compiler release, 21.7. There is an internal compiler error in
znorm.c
, see https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvc-21-7-regression-internal-compiler-error-can-only-coerce-indirect-args/184847 for more information.This change disables vectorisation optimisations for that file to sidestep the error, as suggested on the NVIDIA forums.
