Documentation error - value of _OPENMP

[Mark_Lewy]

In Predefined Preprocessor Symbols (intel.com) for _OPENMP "The default is 201811 when you specify option [q or Q]openmp.", but "The currently supported OpenMP API is 5.0 Version TR4, dated November 2016".

If you print _OPENMP the value is 201611, matching the latter statement.

program preprocessorsymbols
    implicit none

    print*, __INTEL_COMPILER
    print*, __INTEL_COMPILER_UPDATE
    print*, _OPENMP
end program preprocessorsymbols

On Linux with "ifx -fpp -qopenmp pre-processor-symbols.f90", the output is

20240002
2
201611

Interesting...  and with a preview version of 2024.1.0 I get

$ ifx -qopenmp prep.symbols.F90
$ a.out
    20240100
           0
      202011

OH! That description is not accurate! I filed a bug report DOC-12167.

This description in the Fortran Developer Guide and Reference is cleaned up with the 2024.1 release that was done last week. Check it out!
