What do you do with function calls?
Do you call them just in the (tid.x & 31) == 0 threads (then they can't use
vectorization), or for all threads (then it is an ABI change, they
would need to know whether they are called this way and depending on that
handle it similarly (skip all the real work, except for function calls, for
(tid.x & 31) != 0, unless it is a vectorized region).
Or is OpenACC restricting this to statements in the constructs directly
(rather than anywhere in the region)?
Haven't seen any accompanying testcases for this, so it is unclear to me how
do you express this in OpenACC.
