Long compile time with -qsmp=omp for non-openmp files

XLC enforces -qhot optimization steps with -qsmp=omp option even for non-OMP source files, making the compile time unnecessarily long for such cases.

The -qsmp=omp compile time issue becomes a dramatic problem because in user's makefile, the option is passed via CXXOPT to all source files, regardless of it containing OMP or not.

A local fix would be to manually disable -qsmp=omp to non-OpenMP source files. Or use -qsmp=omp:noopt to disable optimization steps for faster compilation time in debug builds. This work around degrades performance significantly and shall only be used in non performance sensitive situations.

    Hi, we are going through our RFE backlog and this RFE was categorized for BG/Q which is no longer a supported compiler. Please let us know if this is still an issue with the any of the latest Linux compiler; and if so, please open a new RFE against the corresponding version. Thanks.

    We plan to consider this in a future compiler version. If our strategy changes at any point, we will update the RFE.

    This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
