--- Comment #1 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The testcase has: #pragma omp target map(tofrom: a, sum) depend(out: a) nowait #pragma omp task depend(in: a) shared(a) and calls: __builtin_GOMP_target_ext __builtin_GOMP_task The libgomp code has for "GOMP_task": if (!if_clause || team == NULL || (thr->task && thr->task->final_task) || team->task_count > 64 * team->nthreads) ... if ((flags & GOMP_TASK_FLAG_DEPEND) && thr->task && thr->task->depend_hash) gomp_task_maybe_wait_for_dependencies (depend); ... else ... if (depend_size) { gomp_task_handle_depend (task, parent, depend); if (task->num_dependees) { /* Tasks that depend on other tasks are not put into the various waiting queues, so we are done for now. Said tasks are instead put into the queues via gomp_task_run_post_handle_dependers() after their dependencies have been satisfied. After which, they can be picked up by the various scheduling points. */ gomp_mutex_unlock (&team->task_lock); return; } } For the attached code, we run into the else branch, i.e. the dependency is analyzed – a dependency is detected but then the code just returns. There is no call to gomp_task_run_post_handle_dependers (which is only called by gomp_task_run_post_handle_depend which in turn is only called by (gomp_barrier_handle_tasks and GOMP_taskwait). The latter are "task synchronization point = A taskwait, taskgroup, or a barrier construct." (OpenMP glossary) Thus, the question is whether * either the if branch should be called instead of the else branch * or whether some task synchronization should be done after the task.
