I disagree completely. I assume the idea of -fdec-pad-with-spaces is to

I should have made this clear.

Even if it is conforming in the sense that it is processor dependent you are
encouraging people to create new non portable code across compilers. Please
just stay consistent with Intel.
I agree.
So do you prefer to always use ' ' instead of '\0', or decide based on -fdec
without a separate option controlling that?
It would be simpler to dispense with the extra option and just set space padding with -fdec. I think it would be odd to use something other than a space or '\0' for padding.
