omp taskyield

Specifies that the current task can be suspended at this point, in favor of execution of a different task.

Syntax

#pragma omp taskyield

None

Because the taskyield construct is a stand-alone pragma, there are some restrictions on its placement within a program:

This pragma can only be placed at a point where a C++ executable statement is allowed.
This pragma cannot be used as the action statement in an if statement or as the executable statement following a label if the label is referenced in the program.

The taskyield construct binds to the current task region. The binding thread set of the taskyield construct is the current team.

The taskyield construct includes an explicit task scheduling point in the current task region.

Example
#pragma omp task { long_function(); #pragma omp taskyield // allow task to be suspended, if needed long_function2(); }
