Pragmas

Pragmas are directives that provide instructions to the compiler for use in specific cases. For example, you can use the novector pragma to specify that a loop should never be vectorized. The keyword #pragma is standard in the C++ language, but individual pragmas are machine-specific or operating system-specific, and vary by compiler.

Some pragmas provide the same functionality as compiler options. Pragmas override behavior specified by compiler options.

Some pragmas are available for both Intel® and non-Intel microprocessors but they may perform additional optimizations for Intel® microprocessors than they perform for non-Intel microprocessors. Refer to the individual pragma name for detailed description.

Details about the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler pragmas are specified in these topics:

Use Pragmas

Enter pragmas into your C++ source code using the following syntax:

#pragma <pragma name>
