Hello,
I am trying to align the memory of pointers in a pretty large code. But, I receive a compilation error #8626 which is undocumented. So, I have made a test program that can reproduce the same compilation error.
The issue is that the variable names outside of a derived type in a module is the same as the ones inside a derived type.
Below is the test program to get a clear picture:
module mod1
implicit none
real*8, pointer, contiguous :: Arr(:)
!dir$ attributes align : 64 :: Arr
type der1
! This does NOT work because the name is same
real*8, pointer, contiguous :: Arr(:)
!dir$ attributes align : 64 :: Arr
! This works because Arr is renamed to ArrD
!real*8, pointer, contiguous :: ArrD(:)
!!dir$ attributes align : 64 :: ArrD
end type
end module
program test
use mod1
implicit none
end program
When I compiler the program, I receive the following error:
test.f90(10): error #8626: The DEC$ ATTRIBUTES ALIGN or FASTMEM attribute must specify a field in the type being defined. [ARR]
!dir$ attributes align : 64 :: Arr
----------------------------------^
compilation aborted for test.f90 (code 1)
How do I specify a field, as told in the above error? Is there any way to tell the compiler to differentiate these two pointers?
Thank you in advance.
Vineet
