Vector Alignment and AltiVec



Hello again,

I am still waiting my 2 duals G5 Xserve and Xcluster and I have started
working on AltiVec (reading documents, trying to link AltiVec C 
instructions with FORTRAN etc into my PBG4..)
I have a simple question:
Vector Alignment: when I use a standard FORTRAN or C compiler (xlf or 
gcc 3.x)
should I always align my vectors or is this done by default by the 
compiler?
I am asking this because I have found some documents where it is 
written that
I must align my vectors and documents where it is written that when a 
compiler
is used there is no problem and no need for alignment...

Thank you in advance,

Kyros
