Description gautier.ciaudo 2014-01-31 11:45:09 UTC
Trying to compile a program using Cuda 5.5 and visual 2012. This is my log :

c:\****\eigen-dev\eigen\src/Core/util/Meta.h(103): error

For the first two errors it is just a windows include problem I guess. For the next ones, it seems to have issues with templates.

Just including <Eigen/Eigen> in a .cu file produces similar problems for me with Cuda 6.5, Visual Studio 2013. I've tried several branches of Eigen, including 3.2 development branch and nvcc_fix, all with the same issues.

MSVC Output follows:

Comment 2 Jonas Adler 2015-07-17 11:56:58 UTC
I have also had this issue historically, and I managed to fix them myself. Now I am able to include <Eigen/Core> in Cuda files and compile without warnings.

My fork with this solution is given in the following repo

https://github.com/Berzerka/eigen

It seems that the needed fixes was to move some code from implementation files to DenseBase (due to compiler bugs in nvcc), it seems this has already been done in some other cases, so if this is deemed an acceptable change we could maybe move my commits into the dev branch?
Comment 3 Christoph Hertzberg 2015-07-17 12:11:23 UTC
Could you please provide a patch (or pull request) against the current head?
Comment 4 Jonas Adler 2015-07-17 14:25:53 UTC
I have provided a pull request, it will likely need some polishing.
