OpenACC in Flang

Intentional deviation from the specification
- The end directive for combined construct can omit the
loop
keyword. - An
!$acc routine
with no parallelism clause is treated as if the seq
clause was present. !$acc end loop
does not trigger a parsing error and is just ignored.- The restriction on
!$acc data
required clauses is emitted as a portability warning instead of an error as other compiler accepts it. - The
if
clause accepts scalar integer expression in addition to scalar logical expression. !$acc routine
directive can be placed at the top level.!$acc cache
directive accepts scalar variable.
Remarks about incompatibilities with other implementations
- Array element references in the data clauses are equivalent to array sections consisting of this single element, i.e.
copyin(a(n))
is equivalent to copyin(a(n:n))
. Some other implementations have treated it as copyin(a(:n))
, which does not correspond to OpenACC spec – Flang does not support this interpretation of an array element reference.
