Error description

  • Compiling C code containing an OMP for loop pragma statement
    with nested for loops is performing an unnecessary canonical
    form check, resulting in invalid error messages.  An internal
    compiler error may also be seen with subsequent nested for
    loops.
    
    
         ===== TEST CASE =====
    
    // xlc_r -qsmp=omp -c test.c
    void a();
    int b();
    void c();
    
    void test()
    {
     for(int j=0; j<10; j++)
     {
      _Pragma("omp for collapse(1)")
      for(int i=0; i<10; i++) { }
     }

     {

Local fix

  • Remove OMP pragma, or remove -qsmp=omp option.
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The incorrect scope is used by the compiler for the collapse(1)
    set by the pragma omp for.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    Using omp for collapse(#) pragmas.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The scope for the 'omp for collapse(1)' is now correctly
    allocated, and the issue is resolved.
