Many fortran tests, like libgfortran.dg/arrayio_9.f90 and libgfortran.dg/arrayio_10.f90 are failing on IA64 because the IO library is reading and writing double values to unaligned addresses.
In gdb I see: (gdb) r Starting program: /proj/opensrc/nightly/build-ia64-hp-hpux11.23-trunk/x Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error si_code: 1 - BUS_ADRALN - Invalid address alignment. 0x9fffffffbd717700:0 in *_gfortrani_convert_real (dtp=0x9fffffffffffef80, dest=0x9ffffffffffff07c, buffer=0x6000000000021de0 "1", length=8) at /proj/opensrc/nightly/src/trunk/libgfortran/io/read.c:154 154 *((GFC_REAL_8*) dest) = strtod (buffer, NULL); The dest address is not 8 byte aligned which is what is required for writing a double out to memory on IA64 due to its strong alignment requirement. -- Summary: Fortran IO using unaligned accesses to read/write doubles.
