Recursion, both direct and indirect, prevents accurate stack size calculation at link time for GPU device code. Restructure these recursive (often mutually so) routines in the Fortran runtime with new implementations based on an iterative work queue with suspendable/resumable work tickets: Assign, Initialize, initializeClone, Finalize, and Destroy. Default derived type I/O is also recursive, but already disabled. It can be added to this new framework later if the overall approach succeeds. Note that derived type FINAL subroutine calls, defined assignments, and defined I/O procedures all perform callbacks into user code, which may well reenter the runtime library. This kind of recursion is not handled by this change, although it may be possible to do so in the future using thread-local work queues. The effects of this restructuring on CPU performance are yet to be measured.
