Cilk Plus supports both task and data parallelism and Cilk Plus and
thus far all features except _Cilk_for is supported in 4.9. I am not
sure what ABI you are referring to but Cilk Plus follows Cilk ABI 1.1.
Well, I am referring to the following in gcc/doc/invoke.texi. From your
answer, it should be either updated to "ABI version 1.1" - or, probably
better, the ABI version should be removed from invoke.texi. Here is the
quote:
@item -fcilkplus
@opindex fcilkplus
@cindex Enable Cilk Plus
Enable the usage of Cilk Plus language extension features for C/C++.
When the option @option{-fcilkplus} is specified, enable the usage of
the Cilk Plus Language extension features for C/C++. The present
implementation follows ABI version 0.9. This is an experimental
feature that is only partially complete, and whose interface may
change in future versions of GCC as the official specification
changes. Currently only the array notation feature of the language
specification has been implemented. More features will be implemented
in subsequent release cycles.
