What the specification requires

The specification text this program relies on and the compiler is expected to support.

OpenMP 5.2 §5.5.8 p.135 l.16-18

If the task reduction-modifier is present for a parallel or worksharing construct, then each list item is privatized according to the description and restrictions in Section 5.3

OpenMP 5.2 §5.5.8 p.135 l.21-22

After the end of the region, the original list item contains the result of the reduction.
