How can I debug OpenMP programs in C++?

How can I debug OpenMP programs in C++?

Debugging OpenMP programs can be tricky due to parallel execution. You can use tools like GDB or Intel Inspector.

What specific GDB commands should I use for OpenMP?

You can use gdb to set breakpoints and inspect variables. Use set scheduler-locking on to control thread execution.

Are there any common pitfalls I should be aware of?

Yes, common pitfalls include race conditions, deadlocks, and incorrect use of synchronization primitives.

How can I identify race conditions in my code?

You can use tools like ThreadSanitizer or Valgrind's Helgrind to detect race conditions in your OpenMP code.
