I have C++ code with OpenMP pragmas inside. I want to test this code both for multithread mode (with OpenMP) and in single thread mode (no OpenMP).
For now, to switch between modes I need to comment #pragma omp (or at least parallel).
What is the cleanest, or default, way to enable / disable OpenMP?
Look into the compiler manual for the switch that disables OpenMP. For GCC, OpenMP is disabled by default and enabled with the -fopenmp option.
Another option would be to run the code with the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable set to 1, though that is not exactly the same as compiling without OpenMP in the first place.
