Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how PSyclone represents stencil metadata and kernel arguments, then identify how shared extent and direction could be specified and determine the tests needed to demonstrate support for multiple arguments using the same stencil.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Copied from mosrs ticket 662. I'm not sure how important this is but it is a feature so I'm keeping it just in case ...

At the moment there is no way to specify that kernel arguments share the same type of stencil. It is possible to specify the same stencil type on different arguments but that does not mean their extent (and possibly direction) are the same.
This ticket will update PSyclone to support multiple kernel arguments using the same stencil.
