type-bound procedure calls in device code are rejected

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

Calls of type-bound procedures (a generic binding, a binding in a loop, a type-bound defined assignment) in a target region are rejected by NVHPC 25.11 and 26.9: 'Call to type-bound procedures are not allowed on device'. Every procedure involved is declare target. AFAR, CCE and GCC compile and run them correctly.

"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.

! # Finding (fortran-oop): type-bound calls in device code rejected: 'Call to type-bound procedures are not allowed on device'
!
! - toolchains and modes that fail: nvhpc (NVHPC 25.11: managed, separate), nvhpc269 (NVHPC 26.9: managed, separate); -O2
! - build: nvfortran -mp=gpu -gpu=cc80 -O2 (managed: -gpu=mem:managed)
! - failure: rejected (diagnostic); OMP_TARGET_OFFLOAD=mandatory
! - observed: `NVFORTRAN-F-1252-Call to type-bound procedures are not allowed on device - scale_i$tbp`, NVHPC 25.11 and 26.9, both
!   modes; the other binding calls compile and then fail at run time (linked to
!   catalog/nvhpc-flang-type-bound-kernel-missing.f90). The claim rests on NVHPC's own message; its user guide does not mention
!   type-bound procedures in device code
! - expected: compiles; `r1= 180`
! - rule: 5.2 §1.2.6 p.19 l.1-3 (type-bound procedures in a target region are allowed when declare target)
! - other families: AFAR, CCE and GCC 16.2 correct on all three
! - gate and confirmer: 12 cells, 12 confirmed in the gate's four environments (a-d; results/oop/main/gate_reruns*.jsonl);
!   confirmer (results/oop/main/confirm.jsonl): compiler_bug (R11-compile-rejection) 6, needs_human (R12b-compile-undecided) 6
! - programs (3): oop-tbp-generic, oop-tbp-loop, oop-assignfinal-tbp-assign (offload/engine/oop_gen.py; this file is the first one)
! - legality: for the nvhpc cells: the rules (offload.engine.rules, with the fortran-oop restrictions) and AFAR's flang front end
!   (-fsyntax-only) and a CCE compile (tools/campaigns/oop.py legality,
!   results/oop/main/legality.json)
