问题:

I am using Mac OS X Sierra, and I found that clang (LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.38)) does not support OpenMP: when I run clang -fopenmp program_name.c, I got the following error:

clang: error: unsupported option '-fopenmp'

It seems that clang does not support -fopenmp flag.

I could not find any openmp library in homebrew. According to LLVM website, LLVM already supports OpenMP. But I could not find a way to enable it during compiling.

Does this mean that the default clang in Mac does not support OpenMP? Could you provide any suggestions?

(When I switch to GCC to compile the same program (gcc is installed using brew install gcc --without-multilib), and the compilation is successful.)

回答1:

Indeed, Apple-provided clang does not support OpenMP.

回答2:

Try using Homebrew's llvm:

brew install llvm

You then have all the llvm binaries in /usr/local/opt/llvm/bin. To compile the OpenMP Hello World program, for example, type

/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang -fopenmp -L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib omp_hello.c -o hello

You might also have to set the CPPFLAGS with -I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include.
