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.!$acc cache directive accepts scalar variable.- The
!$acc declare directive accepts assumed size array arguments for deviceptr and present clauses. - The OpenACC specification disallows a variable appearing multiple times in clauses of
!$acc declare directives for a function, subroutine, program, or module, but it is allowed with a warning when same clause is used.
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.
