Assume a module with the following definitions:
(a) real, allocatable, dimension(:) :: array
or
(b) real, dimension(500) :: array
Both arrays are contiguous as one cannot allocate strides
allocate(array(1:1000:2)) ! invalid
Thus: Only pointers or dummy arguments can have strides.
If one accesses the array in a loop, this can slow down the calculation
considerably.
Test case:
module a
implicit none
real, dimension(500) :: array
! real, allocatable, dimension(:) :: array
contains
subroutine test(x,n)
integer :: n, i
real :: x(n)
! allocate(array(1:500))
do i = 1, n
x(i) = array(i)
end do
end subroutine test
end module a
end
>From the dump difference:
- (*x)[(int8) i + -1] = array[(int8) i + -1];
+ (*x)[(int8) i + -1] = (*(real4[0:] *) array.data)[(int8) i *
array.dim[0].stride + array.offset];

------- Comment #1 from jb at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-10-12 20:17 -------
Gfortran should know that stride==1 for allocatables, as was suggested by Tomas
Koenig in #32131, comment 5.
