I was checking one of those functions - and now ended up documenting
some of them. Still to be documented are omp_target_{is_accessible,memcpy*}.

I did run into some possibly questionable code for corner cases and have
filed https://gcc.gnu.org/PR111707 for those. The documentation matches
the current implementation.

Comments, suggestions, remarks?

+This routine allocates @var{size} bytes of memory in the device environment

+pointer is returned, otherwise a null pointer.
+
+In GCC, when the device is the host or the device shares memory with the host,
+the memory is allocated on the host; in that case, when @var{size} is zero,
+either NULL or a unique pointer value that can later be successfully passed to
+@code{omp_target_free} is returned.  When the allocation is not performed on
+the host, a null pointer is returned when @var{size} is zero; in that case,
+additionally a diagnostic might be printed to standard error (stderr).
+
+Running this routine in a @code{target} region except on the initial device
+is not supported.

+This routine tests whether storage, identified by the host pointer @var{ptr}

+
+In GCC, this includes self mapping such that @code{omp_target_is_present}

+
+If those conditions do not apply, @emph{true} is returned if the association has

+@subsection @code{omp_target_associate_ptr} -- Associate a device pointer with a host pointer
+@table @asis
+@item @emph{Description}:
+This routine associates storage on the host with storage on a device identified
+by @var{device_num}.  The device pointer is usually obtained by calling
+@code{omp_target_alloc} or by other means (but not by using the @code{map}
+clauses or the @code{declare target} directive).  The host pointer should point
+to memory that has a storage size of at least @var{size}.
+
+The @var{device_offset} parameter specifies the offset into @var{device_ptr}
+that is used as the base address for the device side of the mapping; the
+storage size should be at least @var{device_offset} plus @var{size}.
+
+After the association, the host pointer can be used in a @code{map} clause and
+in the @code{to} and @code{from} clauses of the @code{target update} directive
+to transfer data between the associated pointers. The reference count of such
+associated storage is infinite.  The association can be removed by calling
+@code{omp_target_disassociate_ptr} which should be done before the lifetime
+of either either storage ends.
+
+The routine returns nonzero (@code{EINVAL}) when the @var{device_num} invalid,
+for when the initial device or the associated device shares memory with the
+host.  @code{omp_target_associate_ptr} returns zero if @var{host_ptr} points
+into already associated storage that is fully inside of a previously associated
+memory.  Otherwise, if the association was successful zero is returned; if none
+of the cases above apply, nonzero (@code{EINVAL}) is returned.
+
+The @code{omp_target_is_present} routine can be used to test whether
+associated storage for a device pointer exists.
+
+Running this routine in a @code{target} region except on the initial device
+is not supported.

+even if @code{omp_target_associate_ptr} was invoked multiple times for
+for host pointer @code{ptr}.  If applicable, the device memory needs

+
+If an associated device storage location for the @var{device_num} was
+found and has infinite reference count, the association is removed and
+zero is returned.  In all other cases, nonzero (@code{EINVAL}) is returned
+and no other action is taken.
+

+behavior.
