clarification request on changelog entry

Post by fmw42 »

In the latest changelog it says

2012-09-09 6.7.9-5 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
The number of default OpenMP threads is 1 (reference viewtopic.php?f=23&t=21838).

If the default is now 1 thread for compiles with OpenMP enabled, what would be the procedure to compile with all available threads or a specific number of threads enabled?

It defaults to 1 but is quickly changed to the number of cores on your host when an ImageMagick utility executes. The default is 1 only if an API user fails to call the initialization methods such as InitializeMagick() for Magick++.
