fortcom gives warning(?) message "unaligned access"

[jaydeep_m]

Hi,

I recently installed the Intel Fortran Compiler (ifort) version 8.1 on an IA64 platform. When compiling a particular Fortran file, the compiler gives the following sort of warning:

fortcom(9242): unaligned access to 0x2000000000af5285, ip=0x40000000005ef781

..4 such warnings are generated. The object files are still created and the test case runs correctly to completion.

What does the warning signify, and how can I fix it ?

Thanks,
-Jaydeep

ps. The exact command line I give is:
ifort -g -c -O2 -auto -autodouble -openmp -DNOMPI -DTHREADED=1 -DOPENMP=1 -c main.F

If I leave out the "-g" flag, the warnings disappear.

This would not appear to be a fault in your source code. If you want something done about it, please submit a case which reproduces it on premier.intel.com.
In my experience, such messages would come out on the console or log, and would not be seen when compiling in a user window. So, remember to give details if filing a problem report.

Thanks for the prompt response, I will submit a test case to premier.intel.com.

Note that the warnings are harmless, but they certainly should not be appearing, so take Tim's advice.
