[flang-dev] [llvm-dev] About OpenMP dialect in MLIR

[Vinay Madhusudan via flang-dev]

I think it is best to have the design / implementation for few more
constructs to get more insights. I believe that the best course at this
point would be to wait for the results and act accordingly.

Thanks for the detailed and insightful discussion,
Vinay
