Ok, thanks. My interpretation is that that restriction refers to references used in clauses (in the same construct) other than use_device_ptr to declarations used in use_device_ptr. I think the motivation is to restrict the use of the value of the pointer  by other clauses given that value is going to change for that data environment because of the behavior implemented by use_device_ptr. Carlo, what is your interpretation?
