These have an internal unified interface that implement the common + behavior of all the plugins. This way, generic optimizations or features can + be implemented once, in the plugin interface, so all the plugins include them + with no additional effort. Also, all new plugins now behave more similarly and + debugging is simplified. The NextGen module includes the NVIDIA CUDA, the + AMDGPU and the GenericELF64bit plugins. These NextGen plugins are enabled by + default and replace the original ones. The new plugins can be disabled by + setting the environment variable ``LIBOMPTARGET_NEXTGEN_PLUGINS`` to ``false`` + (default: ``true``). + * Support for building the OpenMP runtime for Windows on AArch64 and ARM with MinGW based toolchains. -- 2.7.4
