6.1 The Autoscoping Data Scope Clause

Autoscoping is invoked either by specifying the variables to be scoped automatically on a __auto data scope clause, or by using a default(__auto) clause. Both are extensions to the OpenMP specification provided by the Solaris Studio compilers.

6.1.1 __auto Clause

Syntax:   __auto(list-of-variables)

For Fortran, __AUTO(list-of-variables) is also accepted.

The __auto clause on a parallel or task construct directs the compiler to automatically determine the scope of the named variables in the construct. (Note the two underscores before auto.)

The __auto clause can appear on a PARALLEL, PARALLEL DO/for, PARALLEL SECTIONS, Fortran 95 PARALLEL WORKSHARE, or TASK directive.

If a variable is specified on the __auto clause, then it cannot be specified in any other data sharing attribute clause.

6.1.2 default(__auto) Clause

Syntax: default(__auto)

For Fortran, DEFAULT(__AUTO) is also accepted.

The default(__auto) clause on a parallel or task construct directs the compiler to automatically determine the scope of all variables referenced in the construct that are not explicitly scoped in any data scope clause.

The default(__auto) clause can appear on a PARALLEL, PARALLEL DO/for, PARALLEL SECTIONS, Fortran 95 PARALLEL WORKSHARE, or TASK directive.
