2.5.2 parallel sections Construct

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The parallel sections directive provides a shortcut form for specifying a parallel region containing only a single sections directive. The semantics are identical to explicitly specifying a parallel directive immediately followed by a sections directive. The syntax of the parallel sections directive is as follows:

#pragma omp parallel sections  [clause[[,] clause] ...] new-line  
   {  
   [#pragma omp section new-line]  
      structured-block  
   [#pragma omp section new-linestructured-block  ]  
   ...  
}  

The clause can be one of the clauses accepted by the parallel and sections directives, except the nowait clause.
