But why? Does OpenACC have some way to say, this is to be offloaded for
offloading target XYZ? In OpenMP 4.0, you have just host (initial device)
code and then some code that is either offloaded if possible, or not
(thus, either code/variables are emitted only for the primary target, no
offloading, or both for primary target and offloading). But the tought was
to stream the generic GIMPLE at IPA time for that (target independent) and
only choose later on (during linking) for which offloading targets you
actually want to compile it (if any).
