Agreed. I do not want to block your patch for this.

So this is not that simple. Clang defaults to 4.5 and has parts of 5.0
and 5.1 implemented. I suspect the situation would be similar in Flang
at some point soon. Since Clang supports to choose a version, in both
directions from the default, we already require extra logic to deal with
semantic changes. However, centralizing things and de-duplicating will
still help us. One of the latest changes in this regard was D77113. We
now explicitly specify in the macro file what clause is available for
a directive and version (range).
I imagine C/C++/Fortran to be another degree of freedom here, as well as
the "only once" flag Flang already has. Maybe the latter should even be
extended to constraints on the set of clauses for a directive.
I hope this makes some sense.
Cheers,
Johannes
