--- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> --- If compiling the Fortran version, it shows: !$acc kernels loop gang(32), vector(16) 1 Error: Clause GANG conflicts with VECTOR at (1) Possibly, that's the reason for the (oddly worded) C error message. Given that PGI supports it, one should re-check whether it is permitted or not. If it is permitted, also the Fortran FE should be modified.
