(1) Are the OpenMP pragmas doing anything on OS X,that is, is Csound
compiling and linking with OpenMP on OS X?

(2) What, if anything, remains to be done regarding the use of
spinlocks in Csound?

Yes, I think there is OpenMP now with the compilers we use. However I am not sure this is being enabled on build.

Please, let's enable this for all platforms. I use OpenMP for thread
safety and parallelization in most of my opcodes, and I think it is
the nearest thing to an open source, widely accepted standard for this
sort of thing. Plus, I don't want have to recode my opcodes to work
properly on OS X.

Compilers use the OpenMP pragmas to generate efficient pthreads code
that is highly tested and error-free for common parallel constructs.
The OpenMP library contains state for parallel regions, manages
configuration parameters and environment variables, and provides some
auxiliary routines.

Regards,
Mike

One word of caution, OpenMP has been sort of messed up on OSX Lion, or
at least was.  I do not know its current state. I had posted a bit
about this when I was looking at the Lua opcodes and OSX:

Blender had the same problem, but resolved it by building with gcc 4.6:

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=28407&group_id=9&atid=498

The fix involves either installing, or building, gcc 4.6 for OS X as
described here:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Mac/OpenMP

I would like to know if the people who build the Csound releases for
OS X are willing to do this -- to use GCC 4.6.

After thinking this through, I have decided to keep the OpenMP code in
my opcodes and wait for the OS X toolchain to catch up. If OpenMP is
not available, then the opcodes should compile and run fine for single
threaded use without having to do much if any tweaking of the code.

For the future, however, this is a much larger issue. In my
experience, it is far easier to do multi-threaded code correctly with
OpenMP and this would be very handy to have for any of the major
revisions of the Csound internals that we talked about in Hannover.

The following summarizes OpenMP vs. raw pthreads prettty well:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/935467/parallelization-pthreads-or-openmp

There are some other interesting threads about OpenMP versus other
approaches/libraries on Stack Overflow.

Regards,
Mike

I tried to get a compile for GCC 4.6 going but found it difficult.
The problem I see though is that if we require a non-standard compiler
for OSX, then packagers may be fine (Victor and myself) but casual
developers may be much less inclined to work on csound.  I did try
some pre-compiled 4.6 compiler I saw in one of those threads but it
failed to work for me.  I'm much more interested in lowering the
barrier for Csound developers (hence why I'm advocating CMake a lot),
and I don't think this would help in that regards.  It's a shame
though that OpenMP seems problematic on OSX Lion.

Thanks for the information... I find the Apple situation to be kind of
discouraging.

However, about casual developers, let there be no mistake, if they did
not have GCC 4.6, Csound would still build and run, it just would not
support OpenMP. Code using OpenMP would simply run single-threaded in
these builds.

Hope this is clearer,
Mike
