#pragma omp sections lastprivate(<var>) <BODY>;
This construct is translated into something like:
<last_iter> = alloca i32 <init for lastprivates>; <last_iter> = 0 ; No initializer for simple variables or a default constructor is called for objects. ; For arrays perform element by element initialization by the call of the default constructor. ... OMP_FOR_START(...,<last_iter>, ..); sets <last_iter> to 1 if this is the last iteration. <BODY> ... OMP_FOR_END if (<last_iter> != 0) { <final copy for lastprivate>; Update original variable with the lastprivate value. } call __kmpc_cancel_barrier() ; an implicit barrier to avoid possible data race.
If there is only one section, there is no special code generation, original shared variables are used + barrier is emitted at the end of the directive.
