[Openmp-dev] Performance slowdown

[Churbanov, Andrey via Openmp-dev]

Actually the performance problem is separate from
supported version or linker errors or compiler used.

So we apparently need to investigate the problem
in the OpenMP runtime. We will work on this.

Thanks,
Andrey

Yes, but still this version is not optimal. Clang trunk will produce a little bit faster code.

So, should I assume that this part is not implemented, right? Is there a list for the OMP 4.0 items that are currently supported?

It is not there yet. You'll need to use the code from the github clang_trunk (and llvm_trunk, etc.) repositories to get both recent Clang/LLVM and all of the OpenMP features.
