Right. To reiterate for everyone, offloading is the goal of the nvptx
port. Normal C, C++, Fortran code really isn't interesting, though the
direction the hardware is going should allow more and more C, C++ &
Fortran code to be used as-is on the GPU.
Bernd has done a fair amount of work to allow normal-ish C, C++ &
Fortran code to run, that's really been to allow running GCC's testsuite
to shake out the first level bugs in the ptx support.
