Thank you for introducing SPVM. :-)

Okay.

I would like to understand the first concurrency example, and will hold
off on the second example and remainder of your reply for now. Please
bring the removed ideas back into the conversation if and when it makes
sense.
Looking at:
https://github.com/yuki-kimoto/SPVM/tree/master/examples/native/openmp
I see:
- lib/MyOpenMP.c => contains C source code:
- int32_t SPNATIVE__MyOpenMP__sum_vec_int(...) {...} => defines a
SPVM native function in the package "MyOpenMP" with function name
"sum_vec_int"
- #pragma omp parallel for => enables OpenMP parallelization of the
following "for" loop
- lib/MyOpenMP.spvm => contains SPVM source code:
- package MyOpenMP => sets the package namespace
- sub test : void () {...} => defines the package "MyOpenMP" function
"test"
- lib/MyOpenMP.conf => contains SPVM transpiler configuration settings
- openmp.pl => contains Perl source code:
- use SPVM 'MyOpenMP' => imports the package "MyOpenMP" created by
the SPVM transpiler (presumably via EUMM or MB)
- MyOpenMP->test => invokes the class "MyOpenMP" method "test"
So, SPVM deals with several intermediate layers between OpenMP
concurrency and the Perl script:
- pragmatized C "for" loop
- C function "SPNATIVE__MyOpenMP__sum_vec_int"
- SPVM function "MyOpenMP::sum_vec_int"
- SPVM function "MyOpenMP::test"
Is there a way to eliminate one or more intermediate layers?
- Calling MyOpenMP::sum_vec_int() from Perl?
- Putting "#pragma omp parallel for" above a Perl "for" loop?
