>=20

Except that handling data shared by more than one thread using pragma
annotations (OpenMP), and (Ada) a concurrency model built into the type
system, scope rules, ... are two very different things IMHO.
OpenMP, another kludge to be added to C, C++, and Fortran?
If at least they could consider =C2=B5C++.


"A program that consists of an original program, annotated with OpenMP
directives." A flexible and powerful solution indeed, you assemble
a concurrent program with omp start/end directives around sequences of
statements. If my understanding is correct, then OpenMP offers building
blocks for parallel programs, to be used via libraries.

"throw() must not violate the entry/exit criteria." ...

Is OpenMP going to be another instance of what Meyer has described
as "debugging an application into existence", only more challenging?
