+from the previous release. All OpenMP releases may be downloaded
from the `LLVM releases web site <https://llvm.org/releases/>`_.
Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
+- Extended the ``libomptarget`` API functions to include source location
+ information and OpenMP target mapper support. This allows ``libomptarget`` to
+ know the source location of the OpenMP region it is executing, as well as the
+ name and declarations of all the variables used inside the region. Each
+ function generated now uses its ``mapper`` variant. The old API calls now call
+ into the new API functions with ``nullptr`` arguments for backwards
+ compatibility with old binaries. Source location information for
+ ``libomptarget`` is now generated by Clang at any level of debugging
+ information.
+- Added improved error messages for ``libomptarget`` and ``CUDA`` plugins. Error
+ messages are now presented without requiring a debug build of
+ ``libomptarget``. The newly added source location information can also be used
+ to identify which OpenMP target region the failure occurred in. More
+ information can be found :ref:`here <libopenmptarget_errors>`.
+
+- Added additional environment variables to control output from the
+ ``libomptarget`` runtime library. ``LIBOMPTARGET_PROFILE`` to
+ generate time profile output similar to Clang's ``-ftime-trace`` option.
+ ``LIBOMPTARGET_MEMORY_MANAGER_THRESHOLD`` sets the threshold size for which
+ the ``libomptarget`` memory manager will handle the allocation.
+ ``LIBOMPTARGET_INFO`` allows the user to request certain information from the
+ ``libomptarget`` runtime using a 32-bit field. A full description of each
+ environment variable is described :ref:`here <libopenmptarget_environment_vars>`.

+Errors:
+^^^^^^^
+
+``libomptarget`` provides error messages when the program fails inside the
+OpenMP target region. Common causes of failure could be an invalid pointer
+access, running out of device memory, or trying to offload when the device is
+busy. If the application was built with debugging symbols the error messages
+will additionally provide the source location of the OpenMP target region.
+
+For example, consider the following code that implements a simple parallel
+reduction on the GPU. This code has a bug that causes it to fail in the
+offloading region.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ #include <cstdio>
+
+ double sum(double *A, std::size_t N) {
+ double sum = 0.0;
+ #pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for reduction(+:sum)
+ for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
+ sum += A[i];
+
+ return sum;
+ }
+
+ int main() {
+ const int N = 1024;
+ double A[N];
+ sum(A, N);
+ }
+
+If this code is compiled and run, there will be an error message indicating what is
+going wrong.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -O3 -gline-tables-only sum.cpp -o sum
+ $ ./sum
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ CUDA error: Error when copying data from device to host.
+ CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered
+ Libomptarget error: Copying data from device failed.
+ Libomptarget error: Call to targetDataEnd failed, abort target.
+ Libomptarget error: Failed to process data after launching the kernel.
+ Libomptarget error: Run with LIBOMPTARGET_INFO=4 to dump host-target pointer mappings.
+ sum.cpp:5:1: Libomptarget error 1: failure of target construct while offloading is mandatory
+
+This shows that there is an illegal memory access occuring inside the OpenMP
+target region once execution has moved to the CUDA device, suggesting a
+segmentation fault. This then causes a chain reaction of failures in
+``libomptarget``. Another message suggests using the ``LIBOMPTARGET_INFO``
+environment variable as described in :ref:`libopenmptarget_environment_vars`. If
+we do this it will print the sate of the host-target pointer mappings at the
+time of failure.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang++ -fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64 -O3 -gline-tables-only sum.cpp -o sum
+ $ env LIBOMPTARGET_INFO=4 ./sum
+
+.. code-block:: text

+
+This tells us that the only data mapped between the host and the device is the
+``sum`` variable that will be copied back from the device once the reduction has
+ended. There is no entry mapping the host array ``A`` to the device. In this
+situation, the compiler cannot determine the size of the array at compile time
+so it will simply assume that the pointer is mapped on the device already by
+default. The solution is to add an explicit map clause in the target region.
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ double sum(double *A, std::size_t N) {
+ double sum = 0.0;
+ #pragma omp target teams distribute parallel for reduction(+:sum) map(to:A[0 : N])
+ for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
+ sum += A[i];
