I have problems compiling OpenMP code using clang (both 3.6 and 3.8 ToT).
I followed this blog post http://blog.llvm.org/2015/05/openmp-support_22.html , but the problem is that the compiled program is executed on a one thread only. I'm using ubuntu 15.04 x64, I have both libgomp and libiopmp installed and I compile my code with the following command:
clang test.c -o test -fopenmp -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.1.1
When I use gcc instead, everything works fine: gcc test.c -o test -fopenmp
I also tried running export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.1.1:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
but it didn't help.
`
Any suggestions?
Update
Building the latest trunk of LLVM/Clang (clang-3.8), installing libiomp5, and specifying the location of the gomp omp header files worked. Note that the Ubuntu package for libiomp5 isn't quite correct, so you will need to add a symlink in /usr/lib from /usr/lib/libiomp5.so to /usr/lib/libiomp5.so.5.
./clang++ -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include -fopenmp=libiomp5 -o test test.cpp
I'm using g++-5.1 and clang++-3.6 on Linux Mint 17.2 (essentially Ubuntu trusty) and I see the same results with the following code.
#include <iostream>
#include <omp.h>
int main() {
#pragma omp parallel num_threads(4)
{
#pragma omp critical
std::cout << "tid = " << omp_get_thread_num() << std::endl;
}
}
Running this under ltrace reveals the issue:

You can immediately see the problem: clang++ never calls GOMP_parallel, so you always get one thread. This is crazy behavior on the part of clang. Have you tried building and using the "special" OpenMP version of clang?
