[cfe-dev] annotating loop statements

[Redmond, Paul]

Hi,

I'm working on #pragma ivdep [1] in clang and I'm looking for advice on the best way to annotate ForStmt/WhileStmt/DoStmt with the ivdep hint. I've attached my work in progress which handles parsing.

I think there are two options:
1) add a flag to ForStmt/WhileStmt/DoStmt and toggle it in the parser
2) create a new statement (one that wraps a ForStmt/WhileStmt/DoStmt) that includes the flags

Option 1) is simple but I do not think it's very clean or extensible. I think 2) is the most flexible because it could be extended to support #pragma simd for example.

I think this is a common problem for openmp, amp, cilk, etc. and it'd be nice to have a solution that can work for anyone.

I'm not a clang expert by any means so I'd appreciate any input.

thanks,
Paul
