Bug#675030: nvcc generates preprocessed code not accepted by g++ 4.7 and higher

[Steffen Moeller]

Package: nvidia-cuda-toolkit
Version: 4.2.9-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hello, please kindly forward this information to the upstream developers.
There is a ticket on the GCC bugzilla
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52725
which confirms an issue with g++, but there is a nvcc part that transforms
nicely working code into a form that does not compile, i.e. from

template <typename T>
void CUDAStream<T>::Allocate()
{
    _pSysStream =   new T*[_subStreams];
}

to

# 9 "t.cu"
template< class T> void
# 10 "t.cu"
CUDAStream< T> ::Allocate()
# 11 "t.cu"
{
# 12 "t.cu"
(_pSysStream) = (new (T *[_subStreams]));
# 13 "t.cu"
}

Thanks

Steffen
