I think some of the </li> or <tr> issues have been fixed in the mean time,
so it might not apply cleanly.
LGTM, whether you want to update it further for doacross/omp_cur_iteration
now or whether we do it incrementally up to you.

I made a couple of incremental edits. See below for what I just pushed
(and please speak up if you see any issues).

I really stumble over the "as" – that sounds wrong and I fail to parse this part.
I think it should be "is".

On the technical side, in principle, available devices are the host (aka "initial device") –
and all installed** (nonhost) devices – in our case nvptx and (amd)gcn GPUs.

However, when using 'requires', all installed devices which do not fulfill
the requirement(s) are removed from the list of available devices. In case of
'dynamic_allocators', all devices support it, in case of 'reverse_offload' all installed
amdgcn devices are filtered out and, for unified-shared memory,* neither nvptx nor
amdgcn support it – and are removed from the list – such that at the end, only
the host remains. (Hence, device code ('target regions') will run on the host
→ host fallback.)

BTW: Before the release, further updates to changes.html are required. – For instance,
as alluded in the previous paragraph, 'reverse offload' is (now) supported for nvptx.
(But not yet with amdgcn.)

Tobias

(*) There is support for unified-shared memory for both nvptx and gcn,
but the existing patches either have to be reviewed or to be revised.

(**) I coined the term 'installed device'. OpenMP since TR11 contains some
definitions for 'available devices' – which consists of the union of supported
and accessible devices (possibly after sorting and further filtering). Namely:

accessible devices – The host device and all non-host devices accessible for execution.

supported devices – The host device and all non-host devices supported by the
implementation for execution of target code for which the device-related requirements
of the requires directive are fulfilled.

The available-devices-var is in turn by default "*" – where "* expands to all accessible
and supported devices". (The device list can be further filtered and sorted via
the environment variable OMP_AVAILABLE_DEVICES.)

happy to make this change. Or do you have an idea to reframe the 
sentence (or paragraph) altogether?

(I'm not an expert in that area and so find your description quite
helpful. And based on that "as" -> "is" seems to be sufficient?)

What is your recommendation?

Keep them coming! :-)

Thanks,

Actually, I thinking about it again, the "imply" is also misleading – by
itself the restrictions do not imply that accelerators/GPUs are not
supported; that's only implied in GCC as the libgomp plugins for nvptx
and amdgcn don't handle it, yet.

How about the following? I put the other change into its own bullet
point to be less confusing, completely rewording the remaining item and
mention reverse offload support.

(Reverse offload is: While being in a target region ('omp target', i.e.
running code targeted for an offload device), it is possible to execute
a code on the host. — If there is no available non-host device, the
target region will run on the host (host fallback); in that case,
reverse offload is trivial (as host code calls host code).)

>> BTW: Before the release, further updates to changes.html are required.
> Keep them coming! :-)

Actually, I think only one change was missing (looking at
libgomp/libgomp.texi), unless some more pending patches are accepted. –
I have now included that change in the attached patch.

The above looks good to me.

But because of the sorry_at I'd say "supports some" instead of "supports".
And similarly in the libgomp texi as well as gomp/index.html clarify it is
full C/C++ support (I'll look at PR108435 soon) and say the Fortran support
is still partial.

Thank you, Tobias, for the explanation and the updated patch.

As Jakub said, this looks good to go (modulo his one note).


Just one question: Does "all clauses are now accepted" refer to 
 - all (as in 100% of possible clauses), or
 - <code>all</code> (as in a special kind of clause)? 

(Asking due to the wording in the original version of the patch which felt 
like the latter.)

The former – besides the listed 'unified_shared_memory',
'unified_address' and 'reverse_offload' clauses, there are
'dynamic_allocators' and 'atomic_default_mem_order' which are handled in
the compiler front end (by being ignored (always fulfilled) and by used
its argument as default value, respectively).

Thanks for the review. (I will commit/update the patch later.)

Now committed with the suggestions taken into account.

That is: for non-rect loop-nest support, add 'some' / set back to
partial. I also changed the already-in-GCC-11 wording as it was a bit
unclear to which word/topic the "which" in the original patch referred
to - and the "some" made it even worse.

Nice - this feels rather clear to me (as a non-expert) now. :-)
