*****************************************************************

Description
  This function returns what device type will be used when executing a
  parallel or kernels region.

  ``acc_get_device_type`` is called from

  callbacks of the OpenACC Profiling Interface (:ref:`openacc-profiling-interface`), that is, if the device is currently being initialized.
