Re: Decompose OpenACC 'kernels' constructs into parts, a sequence of compute constructs (was: [og8] OpenACC 'kernels' construct changes: splitting of the construct into several regions)

Hi Thomas,

regarding the new option:

+fopenacc-kernels=
+C ObjC C++ ObjC++ RejectNegative Joined Enum(openacc_kernels) 
Var(flag_openacc_kernels) Init(OPENACC_KERNELS_PARLOOPS)
+-fopenacc-kernels=[decompose|parloops] Specify mode of OpenACC 'kernels' 
constructs handling.

Not yet enabled by default: for now, the current mode of OpenACC 'kernels'
constructs handling still remains '-fopenacc-kernels=parloops', but that is to
change later.

Do you intent that users will switch between those two options?

Or is this new option only an interim solution until decompose is handled?

If the latter, maybe using a --param makes more sense than keeping the later 
for ever.
