Makes sense. Looking at the patch, I wonder whether the context is
properly handled when mixing OpenMP and OpenACC. I have the feeling that
one then might end up using the OpenACC context when one should use the
OpenMP context. However, I have not fully followed the program flow. For
instance, would something like
!$oacc parallel
!$omp simd private(i) reduction(+:c)
do i = 1, n
...
end do
be properly handled?

In OpenMP, one has (OMP 4.0, 2.14.3): "A list item that specifies a
given variable may not appear in more than one clause on the same
directive, except that a variable may be specified in both firstprivate
and lastprivate clauses."
And in 2.14.3.3, OpenMP has: "List items that appear in a private,
firstprivate, or reduction clause in a parallel construct may also
appear in a private clause in an enclosed parallel,task, or worksharing,
or simd construct.
I tried to find it in something similar in OpenACC - but I failed. I
found in (OpenACC 2.0a, 2.7.11) a reference to reduction with private,
which implies that a reduction variable my be private, but I didn't find
much more. In particular, it is not clear to me whether it would permit
only those which are private implicitly or in an oacc parallel region or
also in an explicit private clause in the same directive. Can you point
me to the spec?
Additionally, I wonder whether you shouldn't also add a test case for
the reduction with private.
