llvm dev - Mar 2014 - [LLVMdev] How to detect and work on OpenMP pragmas in llvm /clang

Hi,

I'm trying to work on transform passes in LLVM aimed at every OpenMP
parallel section which are mentioned using 'omp pragmas'.

I'm thinking something like: Module level, Function level and basic block
level, can I write any passes at a parallel loop level. If yes, any
directions on this would be really helpful.

Cheers.

Because OpenMP is 'outlined' early -- specifically all pragmas are
turned into calls to the runtime library in the frontend -- we don't have
any particular infrastructure for this in LLVM. You'd need to run a pass to
look at calls to the OpenMP runtime and then go from there. If you can provide
further details about what you'd like to accomplish, then I might be able to
provide more specific advice.
