I agree that OpenMP doesn't guarantee that all target regions must be executed
on the device, but in this case a user can't be sure that some library function
always will offload (because the library might be replaced by fallback version),
and he/she will have to write something like:
{
map_data_to_target ();
some_library1_fn_with_offload ();
get_data_from_target (); /* ! */
send_data_to_target (); /* ! */
some_library2_fn_with_offload ();
get_data_from_target (); /* ! */
send_data_to_target (); /* ! */
some_library3_fn_with_offload ();
unmap_data_from_target ();
}
If you're OK with this, I'll install this patch:
libgomp/
* target.c (gomp_get_target_fn_addr): Allow host fallback if target
function wasn't mapped to the device with non-shared memory.
