I'm generating code automatically using StarPU as a backend. Sometimes 
an integer can be produced and its value used later, in a different 
task. Sometimes it just that I don't know if its value will be used 
later and I have to pass it to the task by reference.
I'll go for the int a[1]; solution :-)
