But why? I was trying to find some relevant info, but the only thing I
found so far is this paragraph taken from OpenMP specification:
An expression statement, iteration statement, selection statement,
or try block is considered to be a structured block if the
corresponding compound statement obtained by enclosing it in {
and } would be a structured block.
The wording does not seem to require the expression statement to be
actually turned into a block for compilation. Did I miss this
requirement somewhere? Or is it one of the things left open?
Thanks,
Peter
