Allocatable arrays alignment

[Gus]

Is there a way to ensure that *allocatable* arrays are aligned at 16-byte boundaries?

Please, note, I mean *allocatable* arrays, not only static ones.
I.e., when memory is allocated for them at runtime, it should be aligned accordingly.

Does
-align rec16byte
do it for allocatable arrays, or only for static arrays?

I found this other related flags, but it is not clear to me if they do what I want:
-msse[2,3]
-x[W,O,P,..]

I am using a Linux 64-bit machine, and the compiler is ifort 10.1.017.

Thank you,
Gus

Yes, when you specify minimum alignment it also applies to allocatable arrays. There is also an ATTRIBUTES ALIGN you can specify on a per-variable basis.
