The ompx sentinel as C/C++ pragma and C++ attributes are warned for with -Wunknown-pragmas (implied by -Wall) and -Wattributes (enabled by default), respectively; for Fortran free-source code, there is a warning enabled by default and, for fixed-source code, the omx sentinel is warned for with with -Wsurprising (enabled by -Wall). Unknown clauses are always rejected with an error.
