! Finding: CCE 19, 20, 21 reject a strided array section in a
! motion clause of target update (ftn-1747 "The stride specified for array
! ... must not be greater than 1. Subarray references in the MAP clause
! must be to contiguous memory").
!
! Legal OpenMP 5.0-5.2: "A stride expression may not be specified unless
! otherwise stated" (5.2 §3.2.5 p.66) and the data-motion clauses state it:
! "The list items may include array sections with stride expressions"
! (5.2 §5.9 p.165); added in 5.0: "The target update construct (see Section
! 13.9) was modified to allow array sections that specify discontiguous
! storage" (5.2 §B.4 p.634). Only the map clause requires contiguous storage
! (5.2 §5.8.3 p.156). CCE claims full OpenMP 5.0 (intro_openmp(7) of 19.0.0,
! 20.0.2, 21.0.3). gfortran 13 rejects it too ("Stride should not be
! specified for array section in TO clause"): a limitation of gfortran, not
! a legality verdict. AFAR prints "error: stride cannot be specified on an
! array section" for strided sections of structure components (e.g.
! gs%k(1:n:2)); in s1 and s1x0 289 AFAR cells carry it and none of them
! agrees (194 compile_reject, 68 run_error, 17 wrong_code, 10 ICE), against
! 54% agree for the cells without it, and 22 of AFAR's 138 present-modifier
! aborts are among them (8 times the overall rate). The message is not
! always fatal; an AFAR defect with strided component sections is likely
! but was not reduced in this task. For a plain array, as here, AFAR is
! silent and correct.
! Expected: "RESULT check=pass" (the odd elements are doubled on the device
! and copied back; the even ones are not checked, since they depend on the
! memory mode).
!
! Observed (tuolumne, MI300A, -O2, HSA_XNACK=1 and 0, 2026-10-23,
! results/t28_probe/strided_update.f90.*.json):
! - CCE 19.0.0, 20.0.2, 21.0.3: compile error ftn-1747 at the target update
!   (21.0.3 words it "... in the MAP clause must not be greater than 1.");
! - AFAR amdflang 24.0.0git: compiles, "RESULT check=pass" in both modes.
! - Tioga MI250X (gfx90a, HSA_XNACK=0): the same; CCE 19/20/21 reject,
!   AFAR passes (results/t28_probe/g90/strided_update.cce21_g90.json).
! Fuzz campaign s1: 988 CCE cells (s1 and s1x0) fail on this diagnostic,
! verdict compiler_bug (rule R11 where AFAR compiles the program, decision
! D1 where every family rejects the program at different statements).
! Representative: s1 seed 6888 on cce21 (the confirmer's reduction,
! results/confirm/drafts/fuzz_s1_6888_cce21_gfx942_unified, keeps
! "!$omp target update to(gs%k(1:n:2))"); reproducer written by hand from
! it (data/evidence/dataenv_probe/strided_update.f90).

What the specification requires

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

OpenMP 5.2 §3.2.5 p.66

A stride expression may not be specified unless otherwise stated

OpenMP 5.2 §5.9 p.165

The list items may include array sections with stride expressions

OpenMP 5.2 §B.4 p.634

The target update construct (see Section 13.9) was modified to allow array sections that specify discontiguous storage

OpenMP 5.2 §5.8.3 p.156
