A.24 Example of the private Clause
Visual Studio 2012
The private clause (Section 2.7.2.1 on page 25) of a parallel region is only in effect for the lexical extent of the region, not for the dynamic extent of the region. Therefore, in the example that follows, any uses of the variable a within the for loop in the routine f refers to a private copy of a, while a usage in routine g refers to the global a.
int a;
void f(int n)
{
a = 0;
#pragma omp parallel for private(a)
for (int i=1; i<n; i++)
{
a = i;
g(i, n);
d(a); // Private copy of "a"
...
}
...
void g(int k, int n)
{
h(k,a); // The global "a", not the private "a" in f
}
