Hello, If I run the following program
--------------- #include <omp.h> int n = 4, m = 2; int main () { for (;;) { int i; #pragma omp parallel num_threads(m) { int just_to_make_some_code_generated; just_to_make_some_code_generated = 0; } #pragma omp parallel for num_threads(n) for(i = 0; i < 1; i++) {} } return 0; } --------------- on FreeBSD6/7 (i386 and amd64) built with gcc42 or gcc43 -fopenmp (I have not tried other gcc versions), the memory usage is constantly growing during the run. The memory growth is observed in case n != m. If n == m, everything works ok. I have tried this code on CentOS5.2 i386 built with gcc41 and gcc43 and constant memory growth is not observed here. Althogh memory usage looks a bit strange. On the start the program uses much more memory (more then 60Mb) in comparison with FreeBSD (several Mb). If n == m, the memory usage statistis is not changing during the run, while when n != m the memory usage statistis varies from 64Mb to 102Mb. Should I report this as a bug? I am not familiar with openmp, we faced with this problem running some real application. So I am not sure if this is gcc bug or just incorrect use of '#pragma omp parallel'. -- Mikolaj Golub
