Issue

After compiling Mad-X in Debug mode, it crashes when running tracking because of an access to the parameter z in BB_Write in trrun.f90.

Possible Cause

z is declared with dimensions (6,0) since N_macro_surv is not set yet (the corresponding branch in BB_Init isn't taken.

When running in Release mode, the check for the declared size of z seems to be optimised away and the actual size of the value passed to BB_Write (presumably (6, jmax)) is large enough to not trigger a crash.

Proposed Solution

Following the example of various other functions, changing the declaration to z(6,*) seems to fix this issue.

Notes and Open Questions

• I open this PR as draft, since I am not yet entirely familiar with the coding conventions
• z is accessed in multiple functions under the assumption that its dimensions are (6, jmax). In this regard, would changing the declaration to z(6,jmax) be an option?
• There is no check of the actual size of z before accessing it. This feels a bit unsafe, Is a size of (6, jmax) guaranteed?
