Observed issues › oop/cce-copy-alloc-component-section-fault
mapping a section of an allocatable component faults on the GPU with separate memory
Legality: not independently confirmed. Independent readings are uncertain: Only x%a is referenced in the region, and it is a list item of the map clause, so the structure-element restriction (other referenced elements must be mapped) is met; x%n is not referenced. The allocatable-component restrictions are not violated (no reallocation). How this is checked
map(tofrom: x%a(9:40)), a section of an allocatable array component, on a target teams distribute parallel do faults on the GPU (memory access fault, illegal address) with CCE 19, 20 and 21 when host and device memory are separate. Mapping the whole component works; unified memory works.

"behaves incorrectly" / "not supported": this issue, confirmed in up to four environments (another build directory, another node, a repeat). "fails another way": a different failure, not counted as this issue. "unknown": not run there, or the runs disagree.

! confirmer (results/oop/main/confirm.jsonl): needs_human (R22-expected-weak) 12; R22-expected-weak means the expected value has
