The loop variable defines the loop index value for each iteration.
It is set with the beginning line of a parfor statement:
parfor p=1:12
For values across all iterations, the loop variable must evaluate to ascending consecutive integers. Each iteration is independent of all others, and each has its own loop index value.
The following restriction is required, because changing p in
the parfor body cannot guarantee the independence
of iterations.
| Required (static): Assignments to the loop variable are not allowed. |
This example attempts to modify the value of the loop variable p in
the body of the loop, and thus is invalid:
parfor p = 1:n p = p + 1; a(p) = i; end
You cannot
index or subscript the loop variable in any way. The following code
attempts to reference a field (b) of the loop variable
(p) as if it were a structure. Both lines within
the loop are invalid:
parfor p = 1:n
p.b = 3
x(p) = fun(p.b)
endSimilarly, the following code is invalid because it attempts to index the loop variable as a 1-by-1 matrix:
parfor p = 1:n
x = p(1)
end
