Appears not to supportRefused at compile time · Fortran · OpenMP · Open

gfortran: loop bind(thread) or bind(teams) inside parallel or teams with default(none) is rejected ("'i' not specified in enclosing 'parallel'")

Legality: independently confirmed. 2 independent readings find the program legal and the result required. How this is checked

In a parallel (or teams) region with default(none), GCC 16.2's Fortran front end rejects a loop construct because its own loop variable is not listed ("'i' not specified in enclosing 'parallel'"). OpenMP 5.2 predetermines that variable (lastprivate for the loop construct, private in the enclosing parallel or teams region in Fortran), so default(none) does not require it. GCC's documentation lists the loop construct as supported.

! # Finding (GCC 16.2): a loop construct in a parallel or teams region with default(none) is rejected for its own loop variable; the

!
! - toolchains: gcc_g90 (GCC 16.2.0, AMD Instinct MI250X gfx90a, Tioga) and gcc_sm80 (GCC 16.2.0,
!   NVIDIA A100 sm_80, wingtip); separate memory only; -O2; OMP_TARGET_OFFLOAD=mandatory

!   -foffload=nvptx-none -foffload-options=nvptx-none=-march=sm_80 -foffload-options=nvptx-none=-latomic -O2 (gcc_sm80)
! - failure: rejected: not specified in enclosing
! - observed: `Error: 'i' not specified in enclosing 'parallel'` (`... enclosing 'teams'` for bind(teams) in a teams region with
!   default(none)), on both GPUs.
! - expected: compiles; `RESULT ran_on_host=0 check=pass`
! - rule: i is the loop iteration variable of the loop construct's associated loop, so it has a predetermined attribute and
!   default(none) does not apply to it: "The loop iteration variable in any associated loop of a loop construct is lastprivate" (5.2
!   §5.1.1 p.97 l.18), and in Fortran "Loop iteration variables inside parallel, teams, or task generating constructs are private in
!   the innermost such construct that encloses the loop" (5.2 §5.1.1 p.97 l.22-23). The loop construct and its bind clause: 5.2
!   §11.7 p.257, §11.7.1 p.258.
! - GCC 16.2 documentation (libgomp.texi of the GCC 16.2.0 release tarball, "OpenMP Implementation Status"): "loop construct": Y
!   (OpenMP 5.0 table). The rejection is not documented.
! - other families: NVHPC 25.11/26.9 compile and run omp52-clause-bind-thread correctly; AFAR and CCE compile it and fail at run
!   time (fortran-loop-bind-thread-in-parallel.f90). CCE compiles and runs the bind(teams) program; AFAR and NVHPC reject it.
! - gate and confirmer: 12 cells (6 gcc_g90, 6 gcc_sm80), each confirmed in the gate's four environments (a-d;
!   results/gcc/gate-tioga/ and gate-wingtip/ verdicts.jsonl); confirmer verdicts (results/gcc/confirm/batch.gcc_*.jsonl):
!   compiler_bug (R11-compile-rejection) 8, unsupported (R11a-newer-form-unclaimed) 4
! - catalog programs (6): omp50-clause-bind, omp50-clause-bind-thread, omp52-clause-bind, omp52-clause-bind-thread,
!   omp60-clause-bind, omp60-clause-bind-thread
! - legality: the catalog programs are legal by construction (offload.engine.gen, c_gen and acc_gen
!   check every program against the catalog rules and the offload scope as it is built; no
!   compiler). GCC is a compiler under test only: never a legality witness, here or for another
!   family's case (catalog/machines.yaml under_test_only).

! ran_on_host: inside the target region of interest
! evidence: construct

! std: f2008
! derivation (check=pass): loop bind(thread) in a parallel region: the binding thread set is the encountering thread, and each
! logical iteration is executed once per loop region by exactly one thread of that set (5.2 §11.7 p.257 and §11.7.1 p.258), so every
! thread runs all 64 iterations and writes hit(i, tid + 1) once each (distinct elements, so the concurrent iterations do not race):
! tot(t) = 64 for every thread; the team size is implementation defined and only threads 0 .. 1023 record (hit has 1024 columns), so
! all(tot(1:min(nthr, 1024)) == n) holds for any team size, and nthr >= 1; thread 0 writes b = ref; the check accepts
