Arguments

type

Specifies the type of library to use; it implies compatibility levels. Possible values are:

legacy

Tells the compiler to use the legacy OpenMP* run-time library (libguide). This setting does not provide compatibility with object files created using other compilers. This is a deprecated option.

compat

Tells the compiler to use the compatibility OpenMP* run-time library (libiomp). This setting provides compatibility with object files created using Microsoft* and GNU* compilers.

Default

-openmp-lib compat
or/Qopenmp-lib:compat

The compiler uses the compatibility OpenMP* run-time library (libiomp).

Description

This option lets you specify an OpenMP* run-time library to use for linking.

The legacy OpenMP run-time library is not compatible with object files created using OpenMP run-time libraries supported in other compilers.

The compatibility OpenMP run-time library is compatible with object files created using the Microsoft* OpenMP run-time library (vcomp) and GNU OpenMP run-time library (libgomp).

To use the compatibility OpenMP run-time library, compile and link your application using the -openmp-lib compat (Linux) or /Qopenmp-lib:compat (Windows) option. To use this option, you must also specify one of the following compiler options:

On Windows* systems, the compatibility OpenMP* run-time library lets you combine OpenMP* object files compiled with the Microsoft* C/C++ compiler with OpenMP* object files compiled with the Intel C/C++ or Fortran compilers. The linking phase results in a single, coherent copy of the run-time library.

On Linux* systems, the compatibility Intel OpenMP* run-time library lets you combine OpenMP* object files compiled with the GNU* gcc or gfortran compilers with similar OpenMP* object files compiled with the Intel C/C++ or Fortran compilers. The linking phase results in a single, coherent copy of the run-time library.

Note iconNote

The compatibility OpenMP run-time library is not compatible with object files created using versions of the Intel compiler earlier than 10.0.
