Thrust, CUDA Runtime 13.0 throws CUDACOMPILE : nvcc error : 'cudafe++' died with status 0xC0000409 in Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.14.21

[venkatkasirajan]

Inclusion of thrust headers
#include <thrust/host_vector.h>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
Causes Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.14.21 to throw an exception: CUDACOMPILE : nvcc error : 'cudafe++' died with status 0xC0000409

The same code works well with CUDA Runtime 12.9 on the same compiler.

Build dependencies are set well.

What could be wrong?

Hello @venkatkasirajan!

I'm not able to reproduce this with Visual Studio 17.14 (latest patch version) and CTK 13.0:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v13.0\bin\nvcc.exe" -gencode=arch=compute_75,code=\"sm_75,compute_75\" --use-local-env -ccbin "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.44.35207\bin\HostX64\x64" -x cu   -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v13.0\include" -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v13.0\include"     --keep-dir x64\Release  -maxrregcount=0    --machine 64 --compile -cudart static -std=c++17 -Xcompiler "/std:c++17"   -DWIN32 -DWIN64 -DNDEBUG -D_CONSOLE -D_MBCS -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /O2 /FS   /MD " -Xcompiler "/Fdx64\Release\vc143.pdb" -o C:\Users\gevtushenko\source\repos\CudaRuntime130\CudaRuntime130\x64\Release\kernel.cu.obj "C:\Users\gevtushenko\source\repos\CudaRuntime130\CudaRuntime130\kernel.cu"
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
========== Build completed at 10:32 AM and took 09.151 seconds ========== 

The program I've built was simply:

#include <thrust/host_vector.h>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>

int main() {}

Could you please provide a standalone reproducer (command line options, source code etc.)? Also, do you see this error without thrust includes?

You can close the ticket. I couldnt find time to create an equivalent code that I can share with you due to varying priorities here. I rather replaced thrust with my own version now and I am good. However, I'm of the opinion that the problem is still there & if I am able to spend some time on this, I will try to open this ticket again. tan(q) ⋅ lim Regards(r) r → ∞ Venkat Kasirajan *Author: Fundamentals of Quantum Computing: Theory and Practice <https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783030636883>* “From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring.
