-par-affinity option doesn't work

Hi,

Compiling this code:

[bash]#include 
using namespace std;

#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int nproc = omp_get_num_procs();
cout<<}
[/bash]

with:

[bash]icpc -openmp -par-affinity=verbose,scatter test.c[/bash]

then running a.out yields a single line of output ("2", this is a single CPU, dual-core). So the "verbose" modifier isn't taken into account. On the contrary, compiling with:

[bash]icpc -openmp test.c 
[/bash]

and setting environment variable KMP_AFFINITY to "verbose,scatter" yields the expected verbose output:

[bash]OMP: Info #204: KMP_AFFINITY: decoding cpuid leaf 11 APIC ids.
OMP: Info #205: KMP_AFFINITY: cpuid leaf 11 not supported - decoding cpuid leaf 4 APIC ids.

[/bash]

-par-affinity option doesn't work

I think I recall seeing -par-affinity="verbose,scatter=1" work. I haven't used it much, as it would be better for multiple platform as well as experimental usage to be able to over-ride by setting KMP_AFFINITY, and recent versions of the library seem not so dependent on KMP_AFFINITY (in the easy cases).
