#6375: Because of COMMON, the alignment of object is inconsistent with its type

Hi,

I saw this topic for the visual Fortran compiler for Windows, I get the same warning on OSX for a code that I didn't write.

#6375: Because of COMMON, the alignment of object is inconsistent with its type

What does it mean? what are the "potential performance impact"?

Thanks
