This is a fix for https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/134912 which is a problem with mapping `fir.boxchar<k>` type values to the target i.e an `omp.target` op. There really are two problems. Fixing the first exposed the second. The first problem is that OpenMP lowering of maps in `omp.target` in Flang cannot handle the mapping of a value that doesnt have a defining operation. In other words, a value that is a block argument. This is handled by mapping the value using a `MapInfoOp`. The second problem this fixes is that it adds bounds to `omp.map.info` ops that map `fir.char<k, ?>` types by extracting the length from the corresponding `fir.boxchar`
Flang
Flang is a ground-up implementation of a Fortran front end written in modern C++. It started off as the f18 project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/f18) with an aim to replace the previous flang project (https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang) and address its various deficiencies. F18 was subsequently accepted into the LLVM project and rechristened as Flang.
Please note that flang is not ready yet for production usage.
Getting Started
Read more about flang in the docs directory. Start with the compiler overview.
To better understand Fortran as a language and the specific grammar accepted by flang, read Fortran For C Programmers and flang's specifications of the Fortran grammar and the OpenMP grammar.
Treatment of language extensions is covered in this document.
To understand the compilers handling of intrinsics, see the discussion of intrinsics.
To understand how a flang program communicates with libraries at runtime, see the discussion of runtime descriptors.
If you're interested in contributing to the compiler, read the style guide and also review how flang uses modern C++ features.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, follow LLVM's Markdown style guide.
Consult the Getting Started with Flang for information on building and running flang.
