Hey all,
I'd like to add a new function to toolchain-funcs, which presents a
consist interface to users of packages somehow relying on OpenMP.
Currently, (most) ebuilds relying on OpenMP test with tc-has-openmp and
if OpenMP is not available, do something, like print a message and die,
just print a warning, or change some flags implicitly without warning.
This new function, tc-check-openmp, checks for OpenMP, dies if it is
non-functional, and tells the user how to rectify the situation. This
is better than all the current solutions, which, for instance, do not
take CC=clang into account. It also makes extending the messages easier
for new compilers. In most cases, this should obviate the direct use of
tc-has-openmp.
