Sun Studio 12 Update 1: Debugging a Program With dbx

Execution Sequence of OpenMP Code

When you are single stepping inside of a parallel region in an OpenMP program, the execution sequence may not be the same as the source code sequence. This difference in sequence occurs because the code in the parallel region is usually transformed and rearranged by the compiler. Single stepping in OpenMP code is similar to single stepping in optimized code where the optimizer has usually moved code around.
