Hi Rajat,

for obvious reasons it would be best if you could provide a minimal test 
case.

Here at least a first guess: if you enable -fopenmp, clang will already 
outline the parts marked 'omp parallel' into openmp runtime calls. Polly 
does currently not see of look into such calls and consequently is not 
able to modify/transform this code.

There is however some recent work that uses Polly to further optimize 
OpenMP parallel programs:

This is a first workshop version, but there may also be a conference 
version of this paper be published.

Best,
Tobias
