I'd appreciate if you could describe that mechanism in more detail. As 
far as I can tell it is very poorly commented and documented in the 
code. I mean, it doesn't even follow the minimal coding standards of 
describing function inputs:

/* Helper function of lower_rec_input_clauses, used for #pragma omp simd
   privatization.  */

static bool
lower_rec_simd_input_clauses (tree new_var, omp_context *ctx, int &max_vf,
			      tree &idx, tree &lane, tree &ivar, tree &lvar)
