[cfe-dev] How to make clang call `__kmpc_threadprivate_register` with a not NULL copy constructor

[Simone Atzeni via cfe-dev]

Hi guys,

I am having some trouble making clang++ generate a call to `__kmpc_threadprivate_register` where the copy constructor is not NULL.
Looking at the generated LLVM IR it seems that clang approach, not matter how an object (declared as OpenMP threadprivate) is initialized, it will always generate a `__kmpc_global_ctor` and pass that to the ctor arg of ` __kmpc_threadprivate_register`.
The `__kmpc_global_ctor` will then do the object initialization in whatever way is specified by the program.

For example, in the C++ program attached, we have an object `x` of class `myclass` initialized with another object `a` of type `myclass`, so the copy constructor of `myclass` will be called to initialize the instance of x.
Then x is declared as `omp threadprivate`.

In the LLVM IR (also attached, I put only the interesting LLVM IR) there is a `__kmpc_global_ctor_` which calls inside the copy constructor. The `__kmpc_global_ctor_` is passed to the kmpc function `__kmpc_threadprivate_register` as ctor arg, while NULL is passed in the cctor arg position.

My question is, is this an implementation choice or there is actually a way to make clang pass a copy constructor as a argument to `__kmpc_threadprivate_register`?

Maybe I am writing the wrong example and I am missing some knowledge about how C++ OpenMP threadprivate is supposed to work.

Thank you!
Simone
