I am compiling a large fortran computer model that contains lots of data types and pointers. The visual studio project under Properties then "Fortran>Preprocessor>Preprocessor Definitions" has the keyword "ALIGN". I have spoken with several other developers and no one knows why it was added. What that keyword does is add to the command line "/DALIGN"
I have tried searching the documentation and forums, but have been unable to determine what exactly this is doing. The code compiles just fine with our without the keyword.
Any opinions or descriptions what ALIGN is doing would be greatly appreciated.
