[Openmp-dev] Where are the ICV and runtime functions defined?

Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for.
The plugin rtl is already done, but I was missing the device runtime.

So far, I implemented stuff like for_static_init() directly in clang. Is 
this undesirable?
In a later step, I wanted to get rid of the ub, lb, etc. references 
which is not possible if this has to implemented as runtime functions 
instead of codegen. Any advice?

I am using OpenCL 2.1 and generate SPIR-V kernels. Thus, I would like to 
have the device runtime functions as SPIR-V functions (compiled offline 
from OpenCL). How do I handle this to be upstreamable?
