Hi,
Does anybody know if local variables get initialized automatically to zero with the ifort compiler on entry of the function ? Thanks !
Steve.

No, they don't. You can cause this to happen by specifying both -zero and -save (requires a recent 8.1 compiler), but I would advise you instead to properly initialize the variables.
