As the author of the original patch, I have to say using the mapping
structures seems like a far better approach, but I've hit some trouble
with the details of adapting OpenACC to use that method.
Firstly, on trunk at least, use_device_ptr variables are restricted to
pointer or array types: that restriction doesn't exist in OpenACC, nor
actually could I find it in the OpenMP 4.1 document (my guess is the
standards are supposed to match in this regard). I think that a program
such as this should work:
void target_fn (int *targ_data);
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
char out;
int myvar;
#pragma omp target enter data map(to: myvar)
#pragma omp target data use_device_ptr(myvar) map(from:out)
{
target_fn (&myvar);
out = 5;
}
return 0;
}
"myvar" would have its address taken in the use_device_ptr region, and
places where the corresponding mapped variable has its address taken
would be replaced by a direct use of the mapped pointer. (Or is that
not a well-formed thing to do, in general?). This fails with "error:
'use_device_ptr' variable is neither a pointer nor an array".
Secondly, attempts to use use_device_ptr on (e.g.
dynamically-allocated) arrays accessed through a pointer cause an ICE
with the existing trunk OpenMP code:
#include <stdlib.h>
void target_fn (char *targ_data);
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *myarr, out;
myarr = malloc (1024);
#pragma omp target data map(to: myarr[0:1024])
{
#pragma omp target data use_device_ptr(myarr) map(from:out)
{
target_fn (myarr);
out = 5;
}
}
return 0;
}

Furthermore, this looks strange to me (006t.omplower):
.omp_data_arr.5.out = &out;
myarr.8 = myarr;
.omp_data_arr.5.myarr = myarr.8;
#pragma omp target data map(from:out [len: 1]) use_device_ptr(myarr)
{
D.2436 = .omp_data_arr.5.myarr;
myarr = D.2436;
That's clobbering the original myarr variable, right?
Any clues on these two? The omp-low.c code is rather opaque to me...
Thanks,
Julian
