PRIVATE(varlist)

The PRIVATE(varlist)qualifier specifies that all scalars and arrays in the list varlist are private for the DOALL loop. Both arrays and scalars can be specified as private. In the case of an array, each thread of the DOALL loop gets a copy of the entire array. All other scalars and arrays referenced in the DOALL loop, but not contained in the private list, conform to their appropriate default scoping rules.

Example: Specify a private array:

C$PAR DOALL PRIVATE(a)
      do i = 1, n
        a(1) = b(i)
        do j = 2, n
          a(j) = a(j-1) + b(j) * c(j)
        end do
        x(i) = f(a)
      end do

In the preceding example, the array a is specified as private to the i loop.
