Bug ID: 113698
Summary: GNU OpenMP with OMP_PROC_BIND alters thread affinity
in a way that negatively affects performance
Product: gcc
Version: 14.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libgomp
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

testcase
When OMP_PROC_BIND=true it seems gomp set the affinity even before main()
starts. In particular, the main thread gets affinity 0x1 (i.e. pinned to the
first core). For the attached, I get
$ OMP_NUM_THREADS=72 ./a.out
[main thread affinity right after main()]. tid:ffffae511020
aff:0000000000000000.0000000000000000.000000000000ffff.ffffffffffffffff
