SELECT TYPE in a device procedure is rejected: the type's vtable is not offloaded

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

A declare target subroutine with a CLASS dummy and SELECT TYPE, called in a target region, is rejected by GCC 16.2: the compiler-generated type descriptor (__vtab_...) is referenced in offloaded code but not marked for offloading. The program cannot name that variable. AFAR runs the program correctly.

!   with static storage duration declared in a device routine is treated as if it appeared in an enter clause of a declare target
!   directive. No text covers compiler-generated type descriptors; the nearest rule is this implicit declare target rule.
! "While future versions of the OpenMP specification are expected to address the following features, currently their use may
!   result in unspecified behavior." (5.2 §1.7 p.36 l.6-8)
! "If a variable with static storage duration is declared in a device routine then the named variable is treated as if it had
!   appeared in an enter clause on a declare target directive." (5.2 §7.8 p.204 l.25-26)
! spec (this program): bump is a declare target subroutine with a CLASS dummy and SELECT TYPE; the compiler's own type
!   descriptor (__vtab_...), which has no Fortran name and cannot appear in a declare target directive, is a static variable the
!   device routine needs, and GCC 16.2 rejects the program because that variable is not marked for offloading.

What the specification requires

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

OpenMP 5.2 §1.7 p.36 l.6-8

While future versions of the OpenMP specification are expected to address the following features, currently their use may result in unspecified behavior.

OpenMP 5.2 §7.8 p.204 l.25-26

If a variable with static storage duration is declared in a device routine then the named variable is treated as if it had appeared in an enter clause on a declare target directive.
