# FindOpenMP

Finds Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) support.

This module can be used to detect OpenMP support in a compiler. If the compiler supports OpenMP, the flags required to compile with OpenMP support are returned in variables for the different languages. The variables may be empty if the compiler does not need a special flag to support OpenMP.

## Variables

The module exposes the components `C`, `CXX`, and `Fortran`. Each of these controls the various languages to search OpenMP support for.

Depending on the enabled components the following variables will be set:

`OpenMP_FOUND`
  Variable indicating that OpenMP flags for all requested languages have been found. If no components are specified, this is true if OpenMP settings for all enabled languages were detected.
`OpenMP_VERSION`
  Minimal version of the OpenMP standard detected among the requested languages, or all enabled languages if no components were specified.

This module will set the following variables per language in your project, where `<lang>` is one of C, CXX, or Fortran:

`OpenMP_<lang>_FOUND`
  Variable indicating if OpenMP support for `<lang>` was detected.
`OpenMP_<lang>_FLAGS`
  OpenMP compiler flags for `<lang>`, separated by spaces.

For linking with OpenMP code written in `<lang>`, the following variables are provided:

`OpenMP_<lang>_LIB_NAMES`
  ;-list of libraries for OpenMP programs for `<lang>`.
`OpenMP_<libname>_LIBRARY`
  Location of the individual libraries needed for OpenMP support in `<lang>`.
`OpenMP_<lang>_LIBRARIES`
  A list of libraries needed to link with OpenMP code written in `<lang>`.

Additionally, the module provides `IMPORTED` targets:

`OpenMP::OpenMP_<lang>`
  Target for using OpenMP from `<lang>`.

Specifically for Fortran, the module sets the following variables:

`OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_HEADER`
  Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through `omp_lib.h`.
`OpenMP_Fortran_HAVE_OMPLIB_MODULE`
  Boolean indicating if OpenMP is accessible through the `omp_lib` Fortran module.

The module will also try to provide the OpenMP version variables:

`OpenMP_<lang>_SPEC_DATE`
  Date of the OpenMP specification implemented by the `<lang>` compiler.
`OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MAJOR`
  Major version of OpenMP implemented by the `<lang>` compiler.
`OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION_MINOR`
  Minor version of OpenMP implemented by the `<lang>` compiler.
`OpenMP_<lang>_VERSION`
  OpenMP version implemented by the `<lang>` compiler.

The specification date is formatted as given in the OpenMP standard: `yyyymm` where `yyyy` and `mm` represents the year and month of the OpenMP specification implemented by the `<lang>` compiler.
