* [OpenACC] Actually, I simply missed the bit (here: OpenACC 3; OpenACC 
2.6 is same): “Any array or subarray in a data clause, including Fortran 
array pointers, must be a contiguous block of memory, except for dynamic 
multidimensional C arrays.” (2.7.1 under Restrictions).

* OpenMP (quoting TR8): “If a list item is an array section, it must 
specify contiguous storage.” (2.22.7.1 map Clause under Restrictions). 
However, that one seems to miss the case: “non_cont_ptr => A(::2); !$omp 
... map(non_cont_ptr)” as non_cont_ptr is noncontiguous and an array but 
not an array section.

In any case, those are restrictions imposed on the user – which the 
compiler may or may not report. (A good one will, I presume. Although, 
one can also regard it as implementation defined/vendor extension as GCC 
will properly handle those – by mapping also the gaps.)

Cheers,

Tobias
