By "subroutines" I've meant of course also functions, those have their own
namespace structure too.

The Fortran FE generally doesn't track locations of any of the attributes
symbols have, attributes as well as OpenMP clauses are represented just as
bits (for boolean stuff), etc., only if you have some expression you have
location for the expression.
I don't see what is so special on these clauses that they need to have
location tracked compared to say CONTIGUOUS or whatever other attribute, just
use the location of the function. Unless of course you want to rewrite all
the Fortran FE data structures and track detailed locations for everything.
But just treating selected OpenACC clauses specially, ignoring how the FE is
structured, is at least inconsistent with the rest.
