I'm about to build the compiler with

instead of
memset (buffer, (flag_dec_pad_with_spaces ? 0x20 : 0x0), buffer_size);
and will check again, if necessary a padding variable can be used
instead initially set to zero and changed to 0x20 when it is known
that the source is character.
It was indeed necessary to only use 0x20 for padding when the source is
known to be character. One more check was to transfer a character(4)
variable to an integer(8) variable, there is no space padding. I don't
yet know whether this matches the behaviour of other compilers.
I don't currently have access to other compilers. I can have some test
cases performed on xlf and SunStudio but won't get any answers until
after Christmas. The answer will determine whether I have any more work
to do.
