! # CCE 21: a private array in a target loop, subscripted by a value read from device memory, reads its first element
!
! (found while reducing MFC's CCE 20 device-link crash: MFC's characteristic boundary kernels index
! private arrays with a declare target module array, `vel(dir_idx(1))`; a standalone form of that kernel gave
! a different answer on CCE 21 only). Compile: CCE `ftn -fopenmp -O2` (also -O0) after `module load cce/<v>
! craype-accel-amd-gfx942 rocm/<r>; module unload cray-mpich` (gfx90a on MI250X); AFAR `amdflang -fopenmp
! --offload-arch=gfx942`; NVHPC `nvfortran -mp=gpu -gpu=cc80 -gpu=mem:separate|managed`; run with
! OMP_TARGET_OFFLOAD=mandatory.

! Observed (2026-10-25):
! - CCE 21.0.3: `bad: mapped-subscript 64 declare-target-subscript 64 teams-distribute-parallel-do 64
! teams-distribute 64` (every iteration reads v(1) = 10 instead of v(3) = 30), the control line all 0;
! MI300A at HSA_XNACK 1 and 0, also at -O0; MI250X at HSA_XNACK 0.
! - CCE 19.0.0 and 20.0.2, AFAR 24.0.0git (drop 24.3.0): all 0 (MI300A both modes, MI250X).
! - NVHPC 25.11 and 26.9 (A100, separate and managed memory): all 0.
! Logs: data/reports/apps/.
! Same-compiler controls (in this program, CCE 21 correct): the same private array subscripted by a
! firstprivate scalar (k = 3), or by a subscript computed from the loop variable, and a mapped (not private)
! array subscripted by the same mapped element s(3). Without a loop construct (a target region whose body
! reads v(s(3))) CCE 21 is also correct (controls/private-array-subscript-probes.f90, z4). So the failing combination is a private
! array of a target loop (parallel do or distribute) and a subscript loaded from a mapped or declare target
! array.
!
! Basis (OpenMP 5.2):
! - §5.4.3 p.111 l.9-12: "The private clause specifies that its list items are to be privatized according
! to Section 5.3. Each task or SIMD lane that references a list item in the construct receives only one new
! list item, unless the construct has one or more associated loops and an order clause that specifies
! concurrent is also present."
! - §5.3 p.105 l.21-30: "Inside the construct, all references to the original list item are replaced by
! references to a new list item received by the task or SIMD lane. If the construct has one or more
! associated loops then, within the same logical iteration of the loops, the same new list item replaces
! all references to the original list item." Each iteration assigns v(1:3) = 10, 20, 30 and then reads
! v(3) through the subscript s(3) = d(3) = 3, so the result is 30.
! - s is mapped `to` (§5.8.3); d is a declare target module array (§7.8.1) made consistent by `target update
! to(d)` (§13.9 p.289 l.12-13: "The target update directive makes the corresponding list items in the
! device data environment consistent with their original list items").
! Race-free: v is private, every z array element is written by one iteration, s and d are only read. Legality
! was read against the spec; no compiler under test, gfortran or gcc is a legality witness.
!
! MFC: its kernels read private arrays through dir_idx (a declare target module array), for example
! `lambda(1) = vel(dir_idx(1)) - c` in m_cbc; on CCE 21 they would read the wrong component (MFC does not
! link on CCE 21). Workaround: copy the subscript to
! a firstprivate scalar outside the loop, or keep such arrays shared (mapped).

What the specification requires
The specification text this program relies on and the compiler is expected to support.
OpenMP 5.2 §5.4.3 p.111 l.9-12
The private clause specifies that its list items are to be privatized according to Section 5.3. Each task or SIMD lane that references a list item in the construct receives only one new list item, unless the construct has one or more associated loops and an order clause that specifies concurrent is also present.
OpenMP 5.2 §5.3 p.105 l.21-30
Inside the construct, all references to the original list item are replaced by references to a new list item received by the task or SIMD lane. If the construct has one or more associated loops then, within the same logical iteration of the loops, the same new list item replaces all references to the original list item.
OpenMP 5.2 §5.8.3
OpenMP 5.2 §7.8.1
OpenMP 5.2 §13.9 p.289 l.12-13
The target update directive makes the corresponding list items in the device data environment consistent with their original list items
