# #define SEQAN_OMP_PRAGMA
Portable conditional `#pragma` issuing if OpenMP is enabled.

Defined in | <seqan/parallel.h>
Signature | `SEQAN_OMP_PRAGMA(x)`

## Parameters

`x` | The string to issue behind `#pragma omp`.

## Detailed Description

### Remarks

This macro uses portable pragma generation, dependent on the macro `_OPENMP` being defined (as by the OpenMP standard).

This is useful for disabling OpenMP pragmas on compilers that do not support OpenMP or when OpenMP is not enabled to suppress warnings.

### Example

Parallelize loop with OpenMP if OpenMP is enabled:

    SEQAN_OMP_PRAGMA(parallel for)  // becomes: #pragma omp parallel for
    for (int i = 0; i < x; ++i)
    {
        // Do work.
    }

Make an addition atomic if OpenMP is enabled:

    SEQAN_OMP_PRAGMA(parallel atomic)  // becomes: #pragma omp parallel atomic
    i += 1;
