108To activate the OpenMP extensions for C/C++ and Fortran, the compile-time
109flag @command{-fopenmp} must be specified. This enables the OpenMP directive
110@code{#pragma omp} in C/C++ and @code{!$omp} directives in free form,
111@code{c$omp}, @code{*$omp} and @code{!$omp} directives in fixed form,
112@code{!$} conditional compilation sentinels in free form and @code{c$},
113@code{*$} and @code{!$} sentinels in fixed form, for Fortran. The flag also
114arranges for automatic linking of the OpenMP runtime library
115(@ref{Runtime Library Routines}).
116
117A complete description of all OpenMP directives accepted may be found in
118the @uref{http://www.openmp.org, OpenMP Application Program Interface} manual,

1242Binds threads to specific CPUs. The variable should contain a space-separated

DF
1246@code{GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY="0 3 1-2 4-15:2"} will bind the initial thread
1247to CPU 0, the second to CPU 3, the third to CPU 1, the fourth to

1252There is no GNU OpenMP library routine to determine whether a CPU affinity

1393that OMP allows constructors for C++ objects. We can either
1394refuse to support this (how often is it used?) or we can
1395implement something akin to .ctors.
1396
1397Even more ideally, this ctor feature is handled by extensions
1398to the main pthreads library. Failing that, we can have a set

1447where the "x=x" and "y=y" assignments actually have different
1448uids for the two variables, i.e. not something you could write
1449directly in C. Presumably this only makes sense if the "outer"
1450x and y are global variables.
1451
1452COPYPRIVATE would work the same way, except the structure
1453broadcast would have to happen via SINGLE machinery instead.

1461a pointer to an array of the type of the variable, indexed by the

1569a non-constant STEP, there isn't really. We're explicitly allowed
1570to evaluate it as many times as we want, and any variables involved
1571should automatically be handled as PRIVATE or SHARED like any other
1572variables. So the expression should remain evaluable in the
1573subfunction. We can also pull it into a local variable if we like,
1574but since its supposed to remain unchanged, we can also not if we like.
1575
1576If we have SCHEDULE(STATIC), and no ORDERED, then we ought to be
1577able to get away with no work-sharing context at all, since we can
1578simply perform the arithmetic directly in each thread to divide up
1579the iterations. Which would mean that we wouldn't need to call any
1580of these routines.
1581
1582There are separate routines for handling loops with an ORDERED
1583clause. Bookkeeping for that is non-trivial...
