| You were almost there, but your compile instructions were wrong. You must
| pass -fopenmp to gcc. Which you tried, alas wrongly, and then overlooked the
| warnings (and I called your file eduardo.c here) :
|
| gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/share/R/include -fpic -O3 -Wall -pipe -c
eduardo.c -o eduardo.o
| eduardo.c: In function ‘hello_omp’:
| eduardo.c:7: warning: ignoring #pragma omp parallel
| eduardo.c:11: warning: ignoring #pragma omp barrier
|
| One way of passing argument to gcc via 'R CMF foo' is to to use the
| PKG_CPPFLAGS and PKG_LIBS arguments. The following shell script builds and
| runs the code:
|
| #!/bin/sh
|
| PKG_CPPFLAGS="-fopenmp" \
| PKG_LIBS="-lgomp" \
| R CMD SHLIB eduardo.c
|
| cat <<EOF | R --silent --no-save
| dyn.load("eduardo.so")
| hello_omp=function(n){.C("hello_omp",as.integer(n))}
| hello_omp(3)
| hello_omp(2)
| EOF
|
| and this generates the following output:
|
| e...@max:/tmp$ ./eduardo.sh
| gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/share/R/include -fopenmp -fpic -O3 -Wall -pipe
-c eduardo.c -o eduardo.o
| gcc -std=gnu99 -shared -o eduardo.so eduardo.o -lgomp -L/usr/lib64/R/lib
-lR
| > dyn.load("eduardo.so")
| > hello_omp=function(n){.C("hello_omp",as.integer(n))}
| > hello_omp(3)
| Hello World from thread 0
| Hello World from thread 2
| Hello World from thread 1
| There are 3 threads
| [[1]]
| [1] 3
|
| > hello_omp(2)
| Hello World from thread 0
| Hello World from thread 1
| There are 2 threads
| [[1]]
| [1] 2
|

| Have a look at the CRAN package 'inline' which allows you to compile, load,
| link such short code snippets much more easily.
|
| Lastly, one word of caution. R is famously single-threaded. You may get
| yourself into trouble with OpenMP unless you set locks rather carefully.
| There is of course the famous example of Luke Tierney's pnmath (at
| http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/experimental/) so there is also some scope
| for using this.
PS: Using PKG_CFLAGS is slightly better style; the outcome is the same. See
e.g. src/Makevars and src/Makevars.win in the pnmath package referenced
above.
