Appears to behave incorrectlyWrong answer · C · OpenMP · Open

Program (43 lines)
// (copy mode for the whole catalog): CCE craycc keeps an array
// present after map(delete: a) on target exit data when its reference
// count is two.
// a is entered twice (reference count 2), b once; target exit data
// map(from: b) map(delete: a) sets a's reference count to zero and
// removes it, and decrements b's to zero (5.2 §5.8.3 p.154: "If the
// map-type is delete and the reference count of the corresponding
// storage block is finite then the reference count is set to zero";
// "If the reference count ... is zero, all storage ... is removed").
// Expected: bad= 0 a_present= 0 b_present= 0
// Observed (tuolumne, MI300A, 2026-10-22, 3 runs each, -O2,
// OMP_TARGET_OFFLOAD=mandatory):
// - CCE craycc 19.0.0, 20.0.2, 21.0.3: bad= 0 a_present= 1 b_present= 0,
// at HSA_XNACK 0 and 1 (delete acts like release).
// - AFAR amdclang 24.0.0git: expected output in both modes.
// The Fortran form passes on CCE (the catalog's Fortran map.delete
// programs). The catalog's C map.delete programs (5.2, 6.0) check the
// presence only in copy mode (copy_mode_only evidence: under unified
// memory the presence checks are skipped), so CCE reads correct at
// HSA_XNACK=1 and wrong at HSA_XNACK=0; with its presence checks run at
// HSA_XNACK=1 (tools/campaigns/presence_x1.py) it fails there too. Not a copy-mode
// failure: the class is x1_oracle_blind.

What the specification requires
The specification text this program relies on and the compiler is expected to support.
OpenMP 5.2 §5.8.3 p.154
If the map-type is delete and the reference count of the corresponding storage block is finite then the reference count is set to zero
