[Gomp-discuss] Pragma idea...

[Scott Robert Ladd]

Hi,

It's early, and I haven't had much sleep, so maybe I'm just blowing foam,
but...

All OpenMP pragmas begin "#pragma omp". Given the limits of traditional C
progamas, couldn't we implement a separate compilation stream for OpenMP
directives? In other words, we bypass the existing #pragma handling when we
encounter the specific "#pragma omp" string, and drop into our own
semantics?

This approach would eliminate the need to modify the current pragama
handling in gcc.
