+    The task construct defines an explicit task.
+
+    For definitions of "undeferred task", "included task", "final task" and
+    "mergeable task", please check OpenMP Specification.
+
+    When an `if` clause is present on a task construct, and the value of
+    `if_expr` evaluates to `false`, an "undeferred task" is generated, and the
+    encountering thread must suspend the current task region, for which
+    execution cannot be resumed until execution of the structured block that is
+    associated with the generated task is completed.
+
+    When a `final` clause is present on a task construct and the `final_expr`
+    evaluates to `true`, the generated task will be a "final task". All task
+    constructs encountered during execution of a final task will generate final
+    and included tasks.
+
+    If the `untied` clause is present on a task construct, any thread in the
+    team can resume the task region after a suspension. The `untied` clause is
+    ignored if a `final` clause is present on the same task construct and the
+    `final_expr` evaluates to `true`, or if a task is an included task.
+
+    When the `mergeable` clause is present on a task construct, the generated
+    task is a "mergeable task".
+
+    The `in_reduction` clause specifies that this particular task (among all the
+    tasks in current taskgroup, if any) participates in a reduction.
+
+    The `priority` clause is a hint for the priority of the generated task.
+    The `priority` is a non-negative integer expression that provides a hint for
+    task execution order. Among all tasks ready to be executed, higher priority
+    tasks (those with a higher numerical value in the priority clause
+    expression) are recommended to execute before lower priority ones. The
+    default priority-value when no priority clause is specified should be
+    assumed to be zero (the lowest priority).
+
+    The `allocators_vars` and `allocate_vars` parameters are a variadic list of
+    values that specify the memory allocator to be used to obtain storage for
+    private values.
