Description

This data structure becomes problematic for the GridComp side of exchanges where there are now multiple pointers per field

One possibility is to keep the data type but T_FVDYCORE_STATE now has an array of VARS

Research direction

Read the definitions and uses of T_FVDYCORE_VARS and T_FVDYCORE_STATE, then trace the GridComp exchange code that handles multiple pointers per field. Decide whether the exchange needs a sibling data type or an array of VARS in T_FVDYCORE_STATE; done means the problematic GridComp exchanges support the required pointer structure.
