If needed, we can isolate the lookup implementation into a device RTL API, so that FE just generates a lookup call to map the original function address to the device function address.

API, please: fp() -> (lookupDevPtr(fp))()

How would we translate/map all pointers? I fail to see how we could even identify all (function) pointers (see below). Or did we add wording to the standard to forbid this?

char data[sizeof(fp)];
memcpy(data, &fp, sizeof(fp));

#pragma omp target map(to:data[:sizeof(fp)])
{
  void (*fpc)();
  memcpy(&fpc, data, sizeof(fp));
  fpc(); 
}

Modulo my syntax errors ;)

Okay, I will add a definition for the lookup API.

I agree that in this case there will be no translation. I will remove the words about non-unified_shared_memory "optimization". Does it sound right?

We should get the spec to disallow copy/casting of host pointers and using it to allow the optimization.

If I just specify the device RTL API that FEs will be able to use, I think I should remove any mentioning of __openmp_offload_function_ptr_map symbol. This becomes an implementation detail of the API for a particular device, so different device compiler and device plugins will be able to implement this different ways.

I can describe __openmp_offload_function_ptr_map as one of the alternative implementations. Does it sound right?

39

I can move this to a TODO section at the end of the doc. Let's agree on the general case, first.

sounds good to me.

This restriction was added for 5.2: "A program must not rely on the value of a function address in a target region except for assignments, comparisons to zero and indirect calls."

So, you can copy pointers around, as in the example posted. You want to forbid this as well?

I think Ravi only talked about disallowing verbatim copies of function addresses at the boundary of target regions, which will allow the optimization. @RaviNarayanaswamy, can you please reply to the comment?

Correct. Don't was passing function pointers as non function pointers in map clause. Assigning function pointer to another function pointer should be ok.

If there are no more comments, I am going to merge this by the end of the week.

Let's have the docs change. They can always be updated during implementation.
