[Gomp-discuss] The directives...

[Biagio Lucini]

Thanks for the references, Sebastian, just a glance was enough to
understand better a few things, a plan to give a deeper look at it over
Christmas. 

As for the structure of the chain, what about 

C/FORTRAN openmp source -> translation to C/FORTRAN + threads -> simplify
-> etc.

?

To me it sounds better than simplifying directly the openmp code: the
threaded code is plain C/Fortran, so we won't need to attach nodes to the
simplify tree. The only thing we need to do is to decide at some point of
the chain simplify/glimpify whether to accept the proposed directives or
not. The other advantage will be that the openmp project will be
independent from other projects, which is in my view a big advantage in
this preliminary stage.

Of course, I can be missing something, so please let me know what you 
think.
