291+ ### Entry Block Argument-Defining Clauses
292+
293+ Certain OpenMP clauses introduce in their MLIR representation mappings between
294+ outside values and entry block arguments for the region of the MLIR operation
295+ they are applied to. This enables, for example, the introduction of private
296+ copies of the same underlying variable. Currently, clauses with this property
297+ can be classified in three main categories:
298+ - Map-like clauses: ` map ` , ` use_device_addr ` and ` use_device_ptr ` .
299+ - Reduction-like clauses: ` in_reduction ` , ` reduction ` and ` task_reduction ` .
300+ - Privatization clause: ` private ` .
301+
302+ All three kinds of entry block argument-defining clauses use a similar custom
303+ assembly format representation, only differing based on the different pieces of
304+ information attached to each kind. Below, one example of each is shown:
305+
306+ ``` mlir
307+ omp.target map_entries(%x -> %x.m, %y -> %y.m : !llvm.ptr, !llvm.ptr) {
308+ // Use %x.m, %y.m in place of %x and %y...
309+ }
310+
311+ omp.wsloop reduction(@add.i32 %x -> %x.r, byref @add.f32 %y -> %y.r : !llvm.ptr, !llvm.ptr) {
312+ // Use %x.r, %y.r in place of %x and %y...
313+ }
314+
315+ omp.parallel private(@x.privatizer %x -> %x.p, @y.privatizer %y -> %y.p : !llvm.ptr, !llvm.ptr) {
316+ // Use %x.p, %y.p in place of %x and %y...
317+ }
318+ ```
319+
320+ As a consequence of parsing and printing the operation's first region entry
321+ block argument names together with the custom assembly format of these clauses,
322+ entry block arguments (i.e. the ` ^bb0(...): ` line) must not be explicitly
323+ defined for these operations. Additionally, it is not possible to implement this
324+ feature while allowing each clause to be independently parsed and printed,
325+ because they need to be printed/parsed together with the corresponding
326+ operation's first region. They must have a well-defined ordering in which
327+ multiple of these clauses are specified for a given operation, as well.
328+
329+ The parsing/printing of these clauses together with the region provides the
330+ ability to define entry block arguments directly after the ` -> ` . Forcing a
331+ specific ordering between these clauses makes the block argument ordering
332+ well-defined, which is the property used to easily match each clause with the
333+ entry block arguments defined by it.
334+
335+ Custom printers and parsers for operation regions based on the entry block
336+ argument-defining clauses they take are implemented based on the
337+ ` {parse,print}BlockArgRegion ` functions, which take care of the sorting and
338+ formatting of each kind of clause, minimizing code duplication resulting from
339+ this approach. One example of the custom assembly format of an operation taking
340+ the ` private ` and ` reduction ` clauses is the following:
341+
342+ ``` tablegen
343+ let assemblyFormat = clausesAssemblyFormat # [{
344+ custom<PrivateReductionRegion>($region, $private_vars, type($private_vars),
345+ $private_syms, $reduction_vars, type($reduction_vars), $reduction_byref,
346+ $reduction_syms) attr-dict
347+ }];
348+ ```
349+
350+ The ` BlockArgOpenMPOpInterface ` has been introduced to simplify the addition and
351+ handling of these kinds of clauses. It holds ` num<ClauseName>BlockArgs() `
352+ functions that by default return 0, to be overriden by each clause through the
353+ ` extraClassDeclaration ` property. Based on these functions and the expected
354+ alphabetical sorting between entry block argument-defining clauses, it
355+ implements ` get<ClauseName>BlockArgs() ` functions that are the intended method
356+ of accessing clause-defined block arguments.
