Commit Message

Andrew Stubbs July 5, 2019, 11:31 a.m. UTC
This patch allows Fortran "parameter" named constants to be named in 
OpenMP map and OpenACC copy directives.

Right now, the compiler just says something like:

      !$omp target data map(tofrom:N,x)
                                  1
   Error: Object 'n' is not a variable at (1)

This is technically correct, but is surprising to the user and AFAICT 
the OpenMP/OpenACC documents don't say you can't name parameters, so I'd 
like it to be allowed.

Also, I suspect the support request that led me here originated from 
code originally written for another toolchain, so this is a portability 
issue.

With this patch the compiler allows the parameter in the directive, but 
just ignores it (deletes it), so that it has no effect. This is safe 
since the named constant will have been substituted for the actual value 
everywhere it occurs. If that is not true in some case (can it happen?), 
I believe it will be automatically mapped in the same way other 
variables are.

Using parameters in device_resident, deviceptr, private, reduction, 
etc., remains an error.

OK to commit?

Andrew

I don't think you can do it in OpenMP, I can discuss in the language
committee, but the definition of variable is:

"A named data storage block, for which the value can be defined and redefined during
the execution of a program."

so I don't believe Fortran parameters are OpenMP variables.
Scalar Fortran parameters don't even have any data storage block associated
with them at all.

Agreed, they are not variables (nor variable), and copying them about is 
entirely pointless (although, if you simply remove the error check GCC 
will happily create storage for 'N' and do the copies).

And yet, this issue has generated a support request from a blocked 
customer, and I'd like to improve their experience.

I could generate a warning, or add a note to the error message, but in 
the interests of portability I thought just doing the right thing would 
be nicer.

Any suggestions?

I don't know what OpenACC says, perhaps it is different.

For OpenMP, a warning is not good enough, because if Fortran PARAMETER is
not a variable, then the program is invalid and needs to be rejected.
You could improve the diagnostics by adding some explanation message that fortran
PARAMETER is not a variable.

Got it confirmed, it might change in a future OpenMP release; and there has
been a change already in OpenMP 3.1 that might have intended to allow
Fortran PARAMETERs in firstprivate clause, but because the glossary hasn't
been changed, it is not valid even in firstprivate clause.

Note, if there is adjusted wording for Fortran PARAMETERs, it shouldn't be
done just for map clause, but all other OpenMP data sharing clauses.  Even
if PARAMETERs are eventually allowed as variables, it will be still limited
to firstprivate clause and perhaps some sorts of map clauses, nothing else,
e.g. for non-firstprivate privatization clauses you really need a definable
object or allocatable.

OK, here is an alternative patch that merely tries to make the error 
message more informative.

Basically, the user needs to get past "it isn't working but I need that 
value in this kernel", so hopefully this will help get them there.

WDYT?

I don't like it, I'd end the message where you put ;, the rest doesn't make
sense and will just confuse users.  For one, the compiler should know if the
parameter needs to be copied or not, so doesn't need to talk about
probability thereof, and if it needs to be copied, it should be the compiler
that arranges that (PR90779) and the user has no way to overide or force
that behavior.
