[llvm-dev] LLVM and parallelization

[Iulia Stirb via llvm-dev]

Hi Hal,
Thank you for the answer.
I tried to compile using Polly (clang -O3 -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-parallel -lgomp) but I get an warning saying polly argument is not used.
What do you mean when you say it has experimental support for (1) in the Polly project? Is (1) already implemented in clang and available for users?
Regards,Iulia

Thus far, only (2). There is, however, experimental support for (1) in the Polly project.
