Subject: inadvertent OpenMP 3.0 dependencies
magnum -
I think it is desirable for our code to also build with compilers that
support only OpenMP 2.5, but not OpenMP 3.0+. One of these is gcc
versions 4.2.x and 4.3.x. (OpenMP 3.0 is available starting with gcc
4.4, as far as I understand.) Another is EKOPath 4:
http://www.pathscale.com/ekopath4-open-source-announcement
0024-j7-sapB-sapG-added-OMP-and-proper-hash-functions.patch
inadvertently introduced a dependency on OpenMP 3.0 here:
+ unsigned int i;
+
+#ifdef _OPENMP
+#pragma omp parallel for
+#endif
+ for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
In OpenMP 2.5, the loop variable should be signed.
I think you could want to run:
fgrep -A2 'pragma omp' *.c
over the tree and see if there are any other inadvertent uses of
parallel loop variables other than plain (signed) int. Then change
those to int.
Thanks,
Alexander
