/* Finding (C), reproducer replaced: at OpenMP 5.1
(the default of both clang C front ends) the iterator map-type modifier
is rejected.
Legal OpenMP 5.1 C: iterator(iterators-definition) is a map-type-modifier
of the map clause (5.1 §2.21.7.1 p.347). The iterator it = 0:1 has the
one value 0 (C ranges exclude the end, 5.1 §2.1.6 p.49), so the map is
map(tofrom: a[0:n]); with one instance no two instances share a
containing array (5.1 §2.21.7.1 p.353: "the list item instances that
would result from different values of the iterator must not have the
same containing array"). The first reproducer, map(iterator(it = 0:n),
tofrom: a[it]) as in omp_vv test_target_map_iterators.c, broke that
restriction and was withdrawn.
Expected: "RESULT ran_on_host=0 check=pass".
Observed (tuolumne, MI300A, -O2, HSA_XNACK 1 and 0, 3 runs each,
2026-10-22, data/evidence/triage_probe/map_iter.c, results/t27b/probes_fr1.jsonl):
- AFAR amdclang 24.0.0git and CCE craycc 19.0.0, 20.0.2, 21.0.3, with
their default flags and with -fopenmp-version=51: "error: incorrect
map type modifier, expected one of: 'always', 'close', 'mapper',
'present', 'ompx_hold'".
- At -fopenmp-version=52: AFAR correct in both modes; CCE craycc 19, 20
and 21 crash in the front end (internal compiler error, "clang
frontend command failed due to signal").
The AMD clang status table at the AFAR commit lists "device | iterators
in map clause or motion clauses | done" in its 5.1 section.
