I do understand that this makes a difference for BE.
But what does this mean in this context? Does a constant literal character
as in the testcase get padded because AIX wants to pass it in a struct?
Is this done (in)transparently in gcc? Where and how?
And do we need for this reason to explicitly convert a character temporary
as in
{
character(kind=1) char.6;
char.6 = (character(kind=1)) a;
val (&"A"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1}, char.6, 1, 1);
}
to a struct before calling val? What is the right way to do this is a
platform-independent way?
I do not see anything wrong in the tree-dump, maybe due to my lack of
experience. Maybe the tree-dump is just not expressive enough here.
