\chapter{Fortran Private Loop Iteration Variables}
\label{chap:fort_loopvar}
\fortranspecificstart

In general loop iteration variables will be private, when used in the \plc{do-loop} 
of a \code{do} and \code{parallel do} construct or in sequential loops in a 
\code{parallel} construct (see \$ and \$). In the following example of a sequential 
loop in a \code{parallel} construct the loop iteration variable \plc{I} will 
be private.

\fnexample{fort_loopvar}{1f}

In exceptional cases, loop iteration variables can be made shared, as in the following 
example:

\fnexample{fort_loopvar}{2f}

Note however that the use of shared loop iteration variables can easily lead to 
race conditions.
