Question

Is it OK to use loop increment greater than 1?

#pragma omp parallel for schedule(dynamic, 1000)
for (int i=0; i<100000; i+=10)
{
    // do something that uses i
}

Thank you.

Yes.

The allowed form for the for loop is:

for (init-expr; test-expr; incr-expr) structured-block

Where incr_expr is any of:

++var
var++
--var
var--
var += incr
var -= incr
var = var + incr
var = incr + var
var = var - incr
