FWIW OpenMP supports any C++ random access iterator and c++11 range-for loops. I guess you count any external iterator as C-style loop.

*newer OpenMP versions. MSVC is stuck on OpenMP 2.0 in which you can't even use unsigned integers as loop variable. No, seriously.

MSVC is hilariously bad and not used in HPC code. Not sure how much high performance game code is compiled with it.

A lot. I don't think OpenMP is used much in games.

Yeah OpenMP is mostly for problems with much less data-dependency than games.
