[GSoC - OpenACC] Question implementing device_type clause
A Google Summer of Code (GSoC) student is implementing the parsing for the acc init directive clauses in GCC and encounters a naming conflict with OMP_CLAUSE_DEVICE_TYPE from OpenMP 5.0 when implementing the device_type clause. The student asks how to name the new OpenACC clause and how to resolve the type of the device argument, given that the types are defined in openacc.h.
