+FE generates runtime lookup code to match the function address against the key `host_ptr` and produce the new function address `tgt_ptr` that is then used for the indirect function call.

API, please: `fp()` -> `(lookupDevPtr(fp))()`

Comment at: openmp/libomptarget/docs/declare_target_indirect.md:39
+
+Since all pointers are supposed to be translated/mapped, when program does not use **required unified_shared_memory**, it is possible to avoid generating the runtime dispatch code for indirect function calls. The mapping between host and device address of an indirect function will be established by `libomptarget` during processing of the offload entries table.
+
----------------
How would we translate/map all pointers? I fail to see how we could even identify all (function) pointers (see below). Or did we add wording to the standard to forbid this?

```
char data[sizeof(fp)];
memcpy(data, &fp, sizeof(fp));

#pragma omp target map(to:data[:sizeof(fp)])
{
  void (*fpc)();
  memcpy(&fpc, data, sizeof(fp));
  fpc(); 
}
```

Modulo my syntax errors ;)
