Hello,

Im having a problem to use std::cout << in my cuda file

Im new to c++ , so the problem might actually be ver easy

im using
#include

and the erros im getting are manyfold

(But only if i use the std::cout)

What CUDA version are you using? I think 2.2 or 2.3 already enables you to use std in the .cu file…

im using 2.3!

Eas solution:

Refer to a cpp file and make your std things there

Perhaps it’s an issue of wrong runtime library. CUDA stuff is compiled with /MT (or /MTd for debug versions). Your linker errors suggest you’re trying to build at least some files with /MD.

Rightclick the .cu file, Properties → Code generation → Runtime Library
