Hi,

at the moment, offloading Open MP workshare section is not supported,

Fortran codes?
I think the real solution is 'coexecute' that can also be used as
'target teams coexecute'.
However, 'coexecute' was only added to the second preview of OpenMP
(TR/Technical Report 12); thus, it will take a while until it is
implemented and even longer until compiler produce optimized code. The
first preview of OpenMP 6.0 was released in November 2022, TR12 last
November and the final OpenMP 6.0 is expected for this November (2024).
The TR12 specification can be found at
https://www.openmp.org/specifications/ (as can all other OpenMP versions
and also an a separate document with OpenMP examples).

With regards to 'workshare', I might miss something but I don't see a
reason why:
!$omp target
...
!$omp workshare
!$omp end workshare
...
!$omp end target
wouldn't work.

With regards to GCC's OpenMP implementation status, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/gomp/ – some more items have been
implemented but still need to be merged (they are in the OG13 /
devel/omp/gcc-13 vendor branch) or are already work in progress.
GCC 14 is expected to be released in late spring and has currently the
following new features: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/changes.html
(release notes not yet fully updated, albeit OpenMP is nearly complete)
- note that certain features like memory management (like whether
pinning supported etc.) do not show up in the list above as a compliant
implementation does not have to support it; those get mentioned in the
release notes and more details can be found in the manual.
For GCC 15, I hope to see a full support of OpenMP 5.x (x=0,1,2), but
essentially no OpenMP 6 features like 'coexecute'.
Thanks,
Tobias
