Tells the compiler that Cray* pointers do not alias other variables.

The compiler assumes that Cray pointers alias other variables. |
This option tells the compiler that Cray pointers do not alias (that is, do not specify sharing memory with) other variables.
Visual Studio: Data > Assume CRAY Pointers Do Not Share Memory Locations (/Qsafe-cray-ptr)
None
Example
Consider the following:
pointer (pb, b)
pb = getstorage()
do i = 1, n
b(i) = a(i) + 1
enddo
By default, the compiler assumes that b and a are aliased. To prevent such an assumption, specify the -safe-cray-ptr (Linux* and macOS) or /Qsafe-cray-ptr (Windows*) option, and the compiler will treat b(i) and a(i) as independent of each other.
However, if the variables are intended to be aliased with Cray pointers, using the option produces incorrect results. In the following example, you should not use the option:
pointer (pb, b)
pb = loc(a(2))
do i=1, n
b(i) = a(i) +1
enddo
