Mensagens de vetorizador e paralelizador

Você pode usar as opções do compilador do Microsoft C++ /Qpar-report e /Qvec-report definir a paralelização automática e a vetorização automática para gerar códigos de motivo e mensagens informativas sobre sua atividade. Este artigo explica os códigos de motivo e as mensagens.

Mensagens informativas

Dependendo do nível de relatório especificado, uma das mensagens informativas a seguir é exibida para cada loop.

Para obter informações sobre códigos de motivos, consulte a próxima parte deste artigo.

As seções a seguir listam os códigos de motivos possíveis para o paralelizador e o vetorizador.
