Diagnostic 15309: xxxx was not vectorized: statement cannot be vectorized

Cause:

Usage of _Cilk_for or any other threading solution like OpenMP parallel for inside a SIMD loop is not allowed. When such a code construct is enocuntered, the compiler vetorizer emits "statement cannot be vectorized". Below is an examples for this scenario. 

Example:
 

extern int *a;
extern int **b;

int bar (int val);
int foo (int val)
{
  int i;
  _Cilk_for(i = 0; i < val; i++)  {
       b[i][val] += i;
    }
  return val;
}

void vevmsg_testcore005()
{   int i;
#pragma omp simd safelen(32)
  for(i = 0; i < 1024; i++) {
      a[i] = foo (i);
  }
}

Follow a methodology where inner loops are vectorized and outer loops are threaded.
