If you search for OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION in tree.h you will see this
comment:

  /* OpenMP clause: reduction (operator:variable_list).
     OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION_CODE: The tree_code of the operator.
     Operand 1: OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION_INIT: Stmt-list to initialize the var.
     Operand 2: OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION_MERGE: Stmt-list to merge private var
                into the shared one.
     Operand 3: OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION_PLACEHOLDER: A dummy VAR_DECL
                placeholder used in OMP_CLAUSE_REDUCTION_{INIT,MERGE}.  */
